QUIETER JOURNEYS.
To ensure greater quiet for passengers in night 1 trains the L.N.E.R has decided to fit 365 barrows at stations on the principal night routes with rubbei tyres in place of their metal wheels. Further, drivers are not to allow their engines to blow off steam through the safety values needlessly, nor, except in cases of necessity, are they to use the engine whistle. Similarly, the guaid must not blow his whistle when giving the signal for the start, unless absolutely necessary, and in stopping and starting drivers must avoid any jerking and jarring. Station staffs are not to raise their voices nor slam the doors heavily. London Times.
