RAILWAY TRAVELLING

:TO THE EDITOR. ' Sir,—Seeing "Roseneath'a" letter to you regarding railway travelling makes me feel I must say my experience "at the Ihonidon Station need? ventilation I went with my mother, who has been very ill and was ordered away for' a change. She came to Wellington for a few weeks, and although.' not' rriucti benefited 'in health, had 'to return tq her home in Palmerston North. I took her^ to the station, intending-to put her) carefully into the train,' and feel satis: fied she would be safe, with "rug cushions, and a little food for her. But' imagine my feeling when we "got to the st-ation and found only 'those that "could afford to reserve seats could go'into" the station until fifteen minutes before the tram left. There was no place to sit down, and, what was worst of all, not even access to waiting-room or lavatory. I tliink it is; high time' somebody took a step to -alter these conditions. Then, last but not least, I waa under the impression by paying 3d I could see my mother on to the. train, but no, I was, not allowed to help her nor even see whether she got a: seat ''-..at all. It is quite evident the management is quite unable to attend, to the interests'of the travelling public, and that of men in camp.—l am, etc., DISGUSTED.
