THE DAYLIGHT EXPRESSES
SUCCESS OF EXPERIMENT. “The experiment made this year in running the daylight limited expresses for a longer period than usual in order that general passenger tratllc by these trains —as distinct from holiday excursion traffic-—might have the opportunity io become established, is having the desired effect,” states the General Manager of Railways, Mr. H. 11. Sterling, in the last issue of the New Zealand Railways Magazine, in reference to express services. “These services now have a steady business in passengers, much of it I believe being new or ‘ induced ’ traffic. “The results are so favourable that wc feel fully warranted in deciding to continue the running of Ifie daylight limited. Since the daylight limited expresses commenced running in September we have found that our through services between the two principal cities of the North Island have made belter running and that a greater lotat of passenger traffic lias been carried by them.” '
