AIR-CONDITIONED COACHES FOR TRAINS

******

A NUMBER OF TRAINS TRAVELLING BETWEEN KOWLOON AND LO WU WILL HAVE AN AIR-CONDITIONED FIRST CLASS COACH FROM MONDAY (FEBRUARY 7).

AND PASSENGERS WISHING TO TRAVEL IN EXTRA COMFORT WILL BE CHARGED AN ADDITIONAL $1 ABOVE THE NORMAL FIRST CLASS FARE IRRESPECTIVE OF THE DISTANCE OF THE JOURNEY.

THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE KOWLOON CANTON RAILWAY, MR. REGINALD GREGORY, SAID THE AIR-CONDITIONED CARRIAGES WOULD BE ATTACHED TO EIGHT TRAINS FOUR FROM KOWLOON TO LO WU AND FOUR FROM LO WU TO KOWLOON ON WEEKDAYS AND HOLIDAYS.

THE CARRIAGES WOULD ALSO BE HEATED IN COOL WEATHER, HE SAID. HE POINTED OUT THAT A SUPPLEMENTARY TICKET WOULD BE REQUIRED AND THIS COULD BE OBTAINED AT KCR'S BOOKING OFFICES.

ALTERNATIVELY, HE CONTINUED, PASSENGERS WOULD BE ABLE TO PAY SUPPLEMENTARY FARES ON ENTERING THE COACHES.

HOWEVER, THE SUPPLEMENTARY TICKET MUST BE SHOWN ON ENTERING THE CARRIAGE AND SURRENDERED ON LEAVING IT.
