The railway traffic to and from Auckland on the Main Trunk railway line is now nearly normal, and the number of people travelling doeo not justify the continued running of the second express to Wellington which was put on during the Easter holidays.

The actual accommodation provided on this train was for 90 firet-class passengers and 170 second-class passengers j the number actually travelling by the train was 50 in the first-class section and 98 in the second-class, leaving 112 seats vacant.
