Greymouth Evening Star, 3 November 1923, Page 2

The indications are for southerly winds, moderate to strong and squally at times. The weather will probably prove cold and showery. The barometer is rising. Seas heavy andl tides good. Although the overland train from Greymouth io Christchurch might possibly be speeded up on the Canterbury side of the ranges, there is no lack of speed in its departure from the Greymouth station. In pi’«tunnel dajys, the train's departure used to be a very leisurely affair, and it rarely exceeded a walking pace before passing Cobden bridge. Now, however, a second engine is attached to the rear of the train, and it is wise for passengers to heed (lie cry of “all aboard.” A young lady realised this fact to-day. She was busily saying farewell to friends, and did not break away from them until the train was moving. The friendly assistance of a bystander enabled her to scramble aboard in the nick of time. An accident might easily have resulted.
