for January 10 there appeared a reference to the apparent , wastage of luggage accommodation on the railways, and we quoted a particular case. We also mentioned restrictions on the acceptance of luggage for dispatch by passenger train.
We have now received information from Mr. G. Dow, Information Agent of the L.N.E.R., that there are no restrictions whatever on the convey.ance of luggage by passenger train, and this applies equally to parcels traffic. Actually, the L.N.E.R. is now carrying a heavier parcels traffic than is normally the case, owing to traders wishing rapidly to replenish or replace stocks in the exceptional 'circumstances that now prevail.
Trains from the .London -terminals, such as King's Cross and Liverpool Street, have to be formed so as to eater for traffic offering at intermediate stations, and this, of course, is not always apparent, to the ordinary traveller.
