Improved Train Services.

It is with pleasure that I have to record evidence of public appreciation regarding the new and improved train services recently provided. The night expresses of the South Island and the fast passenger trains between Wanganui and New Plymouth are increasingly patronised.

Arrangements are in hand for improvements in the Hawke's Bay train service, and the whole field of transport in the Dominion is being carefully watched to bring and keep the suitability and quality of the service provided up to the highest point of economic efficiency. From my travels about the Dominion I am convinced that the staff is in good heart and is co-operating to give the public that efficiency in operation which is necessary to win and hold business.
