A Valuable Source of Railway Revenue.

Cheap ticket arrangements by the score operate on the Home railways for the benefit of the holiday-maker. An especially useful plan is that known as the “seven day holiday zone season.” Under this arrangement, the whole country has been divided into special zones, with about 250 miles of railway in each area. There are about 118 selected zones within which holiday season tickets may be obtained covering seven days’ travel, these including both large cities and seaside and country resorts. For fifteen shillings first-class, or ten shillings thirdclass, unlimited travel for one week within any of these zones is placed at public disposal. For five shillings extra one may take a bicycle along, too; or for half-a-crown, your favourite dog. The whole of the stations in the beautiful Isle of Wight can be covered for seven-and-sixpence, thirdclass. Any one of the River Clyde steamers operating from Glasgow is at the passengers’ service for twentyfive shillings a week. These cheap tickets are immensely popular with knowing holiday-makers, and provide a valuable source of railway revenue.
