TRANSPORT IN ENGLAND.
MOTORS DISPLACE TRAINS. DR. PINFOLD’S OBSERVATIONS. (Special to Times.) WELLINGTON, Monday. The Rev. Dr. J. T. Pinfold, who has just returned from a trip to the Old Country, tells of great changes in the methods of transport in England, some of them typical of what is going on in New Zealand. There are thousands of motor cars rushing through the country every day of the week, lie told a representative of the Post at the week-end. “A big trade has -sprung up in transporting freight. Goods are carried through the country nearly from one end to the other. Travelling by night between London -and Manchester, our car passed many times a procession of 20 motor lorries piled high with goods, merchandise that a few years ago would ail have been sent by the railway. Of course, it is making a greart difference in the financial returns of the railway companies. The incomes are much less Ilian they used to be.” No doubt the railways at Homo have submitted to the inevitable, and made Hie best of a bad job. •
