Just sixty years ago a little group of time-table experts drawn from the principal European countries, gathered together for the purpose of giving consideration to the improvement of through passenger train running across the Continent, and the betterment of international rail travel generally. This was the embryo out of which sprang that important body now known as the European Time-table Conference, which recently held its Annual Convention in London. In his current Letter our Special London Correspondent makes interesting reference to this Conference, and reviews recent railway progress in Britain and on the Continent.
