THE TRAIN SERVICES.
' f RUMOUR OF HEAVY CUTS. NO STATEMENT BY GENERAL MANAGER. (Special to Daily Times.) WELLINGTON, June 16. .Commenting-on the rumoured heavy cuts in the railway service, the general manager (Mr H. H. Sterling) said he had no announcement to moke. The probabality of such cuts is rather discounted by Mr Sterling’s recent statement when he indicated that the results of the daylight limited had' been so satisfactory that the train would be continued. “ The experiment made in running the daylight limited expresses for a longer period in order that the general passenger traffic by these trains, as distinct from holiday excursion traffic, might have an opportunity to become established is having the desired effect. These services now have a steady business in passengers, much of it, I believe, being new or ’ induced ’ traffic,”, said Mr Sterling.
