RAILWAY PLATFORMS
Sir. —Recently I saw my wife off on the Napier express and asked permission to enter the platform to carry my wife's luggage-—two large suitcases--to the train. This request was refused One canont blame the officer at the gate, who was merely carrying out instructions, but it does seem unreasonable that such instructions should be issued. Presumably the object is to prevent persons without tickets from boarding heavily-booked trains, but surely this could be looked after by providing a penalty sufficiently heavy to make it not worth while.—l am. etc HUSBAND.
