No Romance In N.Z. Train Travel (Special) AUCKLAND, This Day,
New Zealand has not yet grasped the importance of bringing romance into train travel. Most New Zealand travellers will agree with this comment by Mr C. M. Squarey, overseas traffic manager for Thomas Cook and Son, Ltd.
Ho mentioned the drabness of the Auckland railway station. He said he had seldom seen a station that made less effort to entice people to travel. The limited express should be kept immaculate within and without and should be hauled by a spotlessly clean engine painted Midland red and not by a dirty black locomotive. The subject of hotels had been mentioned a good deal but he said that Auckland must build and run a hotel worthy of the great opportunities that lay ahead of her.
