PART 1.

COACHING TARIFF.

General Rules.

1. The hours at which Passenger trains will arrive and depart from the several stations on the Kowloon-Canton Railway are given in the published Time-tables as authorised from time to time, but punctuality is not guaranteed, nor is the Railway respon- sible for any inconvenience or loss arising from delay in respect thereof.

2.-Passengers, to ensure being booked, should be at the Station at least ten minutes before the train is timed to start.

3.--Passengers will be booked, and fares accepted, subject to the condition that room is available in the train for which the tickets are issued.

4.- Passengers are requested to examine their tickets and change before leaving the Booking Office counter, as mistakes cannot afterwards be rectified.

5. At all Stations, Booking Offices will be opened an hour before the advertised time for the departure of the train.

6.--At road-side stations, re-booking of passengers by the train in which they have arrived is not guaranteed.

7. The holder of a ticket, for whom there is not room avail- able in the train by which he is booked, will be permitted to use the ticket by any succeeding train, or, if he elects not to travel, will have his fare refunded on application the same day.

----

8. A person for whom there is no room available in the class of carriage for which his ticket is purchased, may elect to travel in a carriage of a lower class, and will be entitled to a refund of the difference between the fare paid by him and the fare payable for the class of carriage in which he may have travelled.

9. Passengers, while travelling, may have their tickets made available for a higher class of carriage, on application to the Stationmaster, and on payment of the difference in fare. In all such cases the Passenger will receive a special excess fare ticket, as his permit to travel in the higher class.

10. A Passenger who is left behind at any station through sickness or other valid cause, or is unable to use his ticket by the train for which he has been booked, should at once communicate with the Stationmaster, so as to have his ticket made available for a subsequent train.
