Season Tickets

Season Tickets may be obtained at any date on application either personally or in writing at the Traffic Manager's office, Invercargill, and the General Manager's office, Dunedin, or by written application transmitted through any of the railway station masters. Applicants will be required to subscribe to the Railway Rules, By-laws, and Regulations, before the tickets can be delivered to them.

General Regulations.

Mean Time kept at all Stations:

Notice.—In order to secure the punctual departure of trains passengers are requested to be at the station at least five minutes before the time appointed for starting, and earlier if they have luggage, as the Government cannot be responsible for passengers not going by any train unless they have taken their seats before the time it is due to start, or for any luggage not being sent on if it is not in the station and labelled at least five minutes before the advertised time of departure of the train.

Children under 3 years travel free; those above 3 years and under 12, half-price.

Tickets must be shown to the railway servants, or delivered up to them when demanded. Parties not producing their tickets are liable to be charged the fare from the most distant station from which the train shall have started. They are only available on the day of issue, and are not transferable. Parties cannot re-book at an intermediate station by the same train. No tickets will be issued after a train arrives at an intermediate station.

Tickets.—Passengers are requested to examine their tickets and change before leaving the booking-office counter, as mistakes cannot afterwards be rectified.

The Government will not undertake to make any allowance for tickets lost, mislaid, or not used.

Luggage.

Every first-class passenger may take with him, without extra payment, 120 lbs., every second-class passenger, 100 lbs. of luggage. All other luggage must be paid for at half-parcel rates, according to weight. The Government will not in any case be liable for luggage taken with the passengers into the carriages, but only when it is labelled and placed in the luggage van.

Incivility.

The Government requests that any instance of incivility or misconduct on the part of the persons employed at the stations may be directly reported to the General Manager.

N.B.—The Government appoint that the undermentioned sums be paid them for warehousing passengers’ luggage which has been or which is about to be conveyed on their railway, viz.:

For any period not exceeding three days, 2d. for each package; and after three days, 1d. additional for each package per day or part of a day.

And they hereby give notice that they will not be answerable for loss or injury to any such package beyond the value of £5, unless at the time of the delivery of such package to them the true value and nature thereof, and of the article or articles or property therein, shall have been declared by the person delivering the same, and a sum at the rate of 1d. per pound sterling of the declared value be paid for such package for each day or part of a day for which the same shall be left, in addition to the before-mentioned ordinary warehouse charges.

Every person depositing luggage will be furnished with a receipt, stating the number and description of the articles deposited, which receipt must be given up to the railway servants upon their delivery of the articles therein described; and the Government give notice that they will not deliver up luggage except to persons producing the proper receipt for the respective articles claimed, which delivery shall acquit the Government from all further claims in respect thereof.

The Government will not be responsible, under any circumstances, for loss of or injury to any articles, except deposited in the cloak-room.

Articles of merchandise, such as hampers or cases, furniture, household stores, &c., will not be received at the cloak-rooms, and such packages can only be forwarded through the parcels or goods offices as parcels or goods, and they must in all cases be fully addressed.
