Praise for the New Zealand Railways

Praise for the New Zealand Railways.

Leaving New Zealand about four years ago with an impression that the railway system in the Dominion was not up to the standard of similar transport services in other parts of the world, Mr. Angus McBean has returned, after travelling extensively throughout Europe, satisfied that the New Zealand Railways compare more than favourably with the Continental services. In an interview with “The Press,” Christ-church, Mr. McBean, who is head of the English section of the Rosenberg International College in Switzerland, said that for comfort, cleanliness, modernity, window space, and general design, the present rolling-stock in the Dominion outclassed that in the fifteen or twenty States in which he had travelled.
