The Harrogate-to-King’s Cross Pullman train achieved a record run recently. Between Doncaster and Retford this express, which runs non-stop from Leeds, was delayed by signals for 12 minutes, but from Retford the journey of 139 miles was completed in 135 minutes, the train arriving to time. To accomplish this excellent performance the train must have travelled part of the journey at over 80 miles an hour. Karl Jellicoe saw off at Waterloo station, London, 25 lads who are migrating to New Zealand under the auspices of the Church of England Council of Empire Settlement.—A. and N.Z. Motor vehicles in Great Britain increased by over 140,000 last year.
