Lounge Cars Introduced

Lounge Cars Introduced.

For the first time in railway operation in New Zealand, lounge cars have been introduced as a feature in ordinary service. The first trains to have these cars attached are the Daylight Limited expresses running daily from Wellington to Auckland and vice versa. The public have already shown a marked liking for these cars, the charge for the throughout run being only 7s. 6d. in addition to the ordinary first class fare, with a lesser charge for shorter distances.
