Cheap Tickets Popular.

the issue of cheap tickets at Home is being extended as never before. Thousands of cheap day and half-day excursions are being run, while week-end, anglers, hikers, and other cheap fares are operative from every station. Cheap fare passengers now form over 85 per cent, of the total persons carried by the Home railways. In 1924 the figure was only 68 per cent. Altogether, 428,000,000 passengers were conveyed last year by the four group lines for period, tourist, week-end and day and half-day cheap trips.
