The first train on the city underground railway has made a test trip, which was highly satisfactory, The passenger service commences on December 20. Visitors to Sydney from New Zealand during Christmas time, says an exchange, will be able to enjoy what to most of them will probably be the novel experience of travelling beneath a city’s surface in electric trains. The under-, ground eity railway is expected to carry its first passengers on December 20. The underground trains will run only as far as the first station, St. James, but it will be a novel experience nevertheless for Australians and visitors froth New Zealand who have not been to England or America.
