ELECTRIC TRAINS

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —As one who has used these" luxury cars twice daily since their inception I would like to take this opportunity of congratulating those responsible for having supplied us with such a comfortable and rapid means of travel.

There is one thing, however, I wish to draw attention to. That is the failure of some of the drivers to sound their horn when nearing the crossing south of the Ngaio station. I understand that some of these drivers have been brought here from other parts of the pountry (this is opea to correction), and maybe they do not attach much, importance to 'this crossing. This road, which runs between Ngaio and Wadestown, is a very popular drive and walk on Sundays and holidays. As we are now to enjoy a train service on these days, this is my reason for writing. It would be a great pity t» have an accident occur, which would mar a service we have long waited for. In conclusion I might say the silent running of these cars makes it very difficult for anyone to hear them let alone a driver who has his engine running and is concentrating on this awkward approach. This is an appeal to the drivers and I hope they will take it as such. —I am., etc., ARTHUR J. BROWN.
