Rules for Provision of Coaches for Through Trains.

1. The Chinese Section shall provide 16 coaches and the British Section shall provide 4 coaches

The composition of the trains to be such that on the total train run the proportion of coaches supplied shall be—

Chinese Section: British Section :: 4: 1.

2. Say 2 trains each way are run per day and each train consists of 7 coaches. Then in a month of 30 days 420 coach-journeys will be made, or, in a year of 365 days, 5,110 coach-journeys will be made. Then in one year the Chinese Section shall provide for 4,088 coach-journeys and the British Section for 1,022 coach-journeys.

This gives an average of 112 coaches per day for the Chinese Section and 28 coaches per day for the British Section.

3. The trains shall be made up as per diagram in this Schedule as far as practicable.

4. At the end of each year of working the coach-journeys for the year shall be calculated and any difference between the actual figures and those calculated in accordance with the example given in paragraph 2 shall be adjusted by payment by the Section in default to the other Section of the sum of five cents per mile per coach.

5. Three or more Chinese Section coaches will be kept at Kowloon.

6. With reference to Article 14 of the agreement no rent or demurrage shall be charged to either Section in respect of rolling stock: but either Section making default in supplying waggons in the prescribed proportion shall pay a sum of 3 cents per mile per four wheeled waggon and 5 cents per mile per eight wheeled waggon to the other Section.
