SUNDAY RAILWAY SERVICES
PROTEST AT CURTAILMENT.
The Otago Expansion League met lo consider the situation that has arisen owing to the decision of the Railway Department to cut out all Sunday trains on the Port Chalmers lnie. It was pointed out that while on the plea of economy the department was breaking faith with and seriously inconveniencing its regular patrons (ticket-holders and daily travellers), it still continued to cater for Sunday travellers by excursion trains at lower fares than those charged on suburban services. The action of the department sought to force all travellers from and to Port Chalmers to take its road service. The secretary was instructed to forward a strongly-worded protest to the Minister of Railways.
