THfi NEW RAILWAY TIME-TABLE, *»»- We have before us a copy of the latest pro duction in the way of a time-table for the Wanganui section of railway. In this the consequences of the recent agitations in New Plymouth, Hawera, and Patea are manifest, and the one great change on which the altera tions hinge, may be said to be that of making Patea the terminus in place of Hawera for the train which runs from New Plymouth each afternoon. Thiß will leave New Ply from Hawera to Wanganui has been made to start at 635 in place of 6 51),5 1 ), and is now timed to reach Wangauui at 10.45 in place of 11. a change that will not be of perceptible advantage to anybody. In the time-table for the through train from New Plymouth, a similar tinkering has taken place, the only appreciable effect of which is to increase the length of time occupied by the journey. Ihis train will leave .New Plymouth as before at 7.25 a.m., reaching Hawera at 11 ; here a stoppage of 20 minutes is to be made in place of the 10 minutes hitherto allowed. What use this 20 minutes is supposed to be to travellers, we cannot imagine, and as another 20 minutes stoppage is made at Patea, barely 20 miles further on, there seems to be no real reason for it. A change has, of course, been made with regard to the train going north from Patea, ' this station being left at 6.15 a.m. in order to reach New Plymouth by 11. The ordinary train between this place and New Plymouth will in future leaye at 9 10 instead of 9.20 in order to give time for another 20 minutes stay at Hawera j Saturday trains are to star}; from Wanganui at 8 35, in place of 1J.50, reaching New Plymouth at 6 40 instead of 7 50, a stay of two hours and 10 minutes being allowed at Hawera en route. The trains which on Saturday afternoons ran from Hawera to Wanganui, reaching here at 8.35 p<m» are to be discontinued. On the South line no alterations are made beyond altering the time of the return Saturday trains Jjetween Feilding and Palmerston from 3 p.m to 12 o'clock.
