2nd Class Touring Tickets
To people who travel extensively in New Zealand, for either business or pleasure, the “tourist” tickets, issued by the Railway Department, are decidedly attractive. These tickets can be obtained to cover unrestricted travel over all the Department's lines in both Islands, or over North or South Island lines, as desired. In the former case they have an availability of seven weeks and in the latter four weeks, but for a small additional charge they may be extended for periods up to four weeks.
In the past “tourist” tickets have been available for first-class travel only. They have, however, proved so popular that the Department has now decided to extend the concession to cover second-class travel.
