WELLINGTON—NAPIER—NEW PLYMOUTH SECTION.

Insert—
Tickets for intermediate stations between Wellington (Thorndon) and Palmerston North are not available for travel by the north- or south-bound Main Trunk express trains. Passengers found on these trains with tickets for intermediate stations between Wellington (Thorndon) and Palmerston North shall pay the full ordinary rates for eighty-seven miles.

AUCKLAND—WELLINGTON—NAPIER—NEW PLYMOUTH AND HURUNUI BLUFF SECTIONS.

Cancel—
Where a combination of the suburban and ordinary fares gives a cheaper fare for the through journey than the fare computed at ordinary rates on the continuous mileage, the combined rate is to be charged between stations to which the suburban rates apply and other stations outside the suburban area.

As witness my hand, this twenty-second day of December, one thousand nine hundred and nine.
