Throughout Britain there are 7,100 passenger stationa. The railways own 60,500 houses, enough to ae- incommodate a large city, a fleet of 166 stenships, and the G.W.R. owns the largest dock system'in this country, while the Southern Railway, at Southampton, owns the largest floating dock in the world.

The fastest atart-to-stop train in the world is run on British railways It in G.W.R. 3.45 p.m. from Swin don to Paddington, which covers 77.3 miles in 70 minutes (and has been known to do the run in even better time).) This works out at an average of 00.3 miles an hour. The longest daily non-stop rum in the world is accomplished in this island during the summer.

As caterers, the railways nerve nine million meals a year in their trains, and in addition they own 91 large hotels. They are interest- fed in a fleet of 8,000 road vehicles, and their yearly wage bill amounts to nearly £115,000,000. One twelfth of the population depends for its livelihood upon the railways, a fact easily understood when it is remem- bered that the railways purchase soine 50,000 articles for their use, including millions of tong of coals. Another world's record is provid millions of bricks, tons of paint and ed by the Southern Railway's all-oil,, and millions of cubic feet of electric suburban service, which was timber.
