CORRESPONDENCE. [The opinions exprossed by the Correspondents are not nocess- arily those of the "Hongkong Tolograph"]
THE KOWLOON-CANTON
RAILWAY.
To the Editor of the Hongkong
Telegraph.
Sir, I wish to warn the public against placing too much reliance in the time tables published by the K. O. Railway... "Last night I crossed by the 7.45 p.m. Ferry bat found that the 8 p.m. train which it je shown to catoh had gone. The printed time tables at Kowloon Station, at the Ferry Pier and at many other places, show night trains leaving Can- ton at 0.15 p.m. and Kowloon at 12.45 but it is uncertain whether or no these trains are running now,
At the Ferry Pier there is s notico to say their times have been altered, though it does not appear to have occured to any one to correct the time table
on the adjoining board, and st Kowloon Station another notice indicates that they have cossed running, though there again no one appears to have had sense enough to corroot the time table. It seems to be expooled that intending passengers should read through all the various notices daily to use if they contain any alteration to the time tables.. Yours faithfully,
L. GIBBB, Hongkong, Aug. 27, 1914.
