✨ Luggage Regulations

LUGGAGE, PARCELS, ETC.

Unchecked luggage will not be delivered at any station short of the destination to which it is addressed and labelled. Passengers who desire to break the journey en route must have their luggage addressed and labelled to the station at which they intend to first take delivery.
Unchecked luggage which is conveyed in guard's van, the property of passengers who are booked to a station beyond the destination station of the train by which the passengers are travelling, may be labelled direct to the station shown on the passenger's ticket. Such luggage will be stored free of charge at the station where the break of journey is necessitated until the departure time of the first available train by which the passenger can proceed direct to destination station. Nothing in this paragraph shall affect the liability of the Department as for unchecked luggage.

As the Gazette has been published for more than 185 years, copyright status depends on the publication date of each issue:

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ...
