Better Railways

Better Railways

“Mr. H. H. Sterling, the Big Chief of the N.Z. Railways, makes a hobby of pleasing the public with special travelling concessions. His latest little gift is with reference to parties by rail.

“The railway tariff provides that pleasure parties of not less than twelve members may travel first class at second class rates for any journey, and if the return journey is made the same day those who elect to travel second class are carried at three-quarters of the ordinary return fares.

“In the past all applications for the concession rates were submitted to the District Traffic Manager. Under the new system a stationmaster anywhere may grant the concession, or any passenger agent or business agent has authority to issue the necessary permit, provided he ascertains that the rolling stock can be made available for the party.”

(From the July issue of “Aussie.“)
