Among the charges levelled again* the Railway Department from time t 4 time is an allegation that it fails t 4 consult the wishes of passengers. Ai example of direct consultation was shown yesterday, when an inapectoi went through one of the trains on thi Lower Hutt service and took a shoa of hands regarding a proposed time table alteration. He asked for a vot« as to whether the train now leaving Wellington at 12.6 p.m. on Saturday! should be'run at 11.40 a.m. The is now the first train available foi civil servants, whose work ond6 on Saturdays at 11.30 a.m., and it is al* ways a very crowded train. Civil sen vants were practically unanimous is favour of the change, which would givx them an extra naif-hour at home People who cease work at noon will not have the 12.6 train if the change it made, but there is another at 13.14 p.m.
