The London And North-Western Summer Tourist Arrangements.

THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN SUMMER TOURIST ARRANGEMENTS .

We mentioned last week that the authorities of this wellmanaged railway system had , as usual , made every possible provision for the comfort and convenience of the general public , both as regards the frequency of their train service and the moderation of their charges . There is , indeed , hardly a pleasure resort in the United Kingdom or on the

Continent which is not accessible , either directly or indirectly , by means of this railway . Our present concern , however , is with those that can be reached either by the line itself or by those with which it is associated , or over which it has running powers , and in respect of these we have no hestitation in saying that the arrangements for the present tourist season are about as perfect as human ingenuity and thoughtfulness could design . The

management has always had a high reputation for the liberality , excellence , and punctuality of its service , so that there was very little room left for improvement as compared with past years ; but , wherever a change for the better was possible , it has been made . The chief features of the Tourist Ticket system remain . The period for which the tickets are available is two calendar months , and they are issuable at any time up to the 31 st October . Moreover ,

they can be extended , on a further moierate payment of the difference between the return fare and the sum of two single journey fares ; but no extension beyond the 31 st December is possible . The journey may be broken at any point , or points , provided for in the tickets , either when going outwards or returning homewards , andthebreakmaybefora long or short time , according to the convenience of the holder , the only restriction being that the return

journey must be completed within the time for which the ticket is issued . These tickets are available by the ordinary trains , but not , except under certain special conditions , by the Irish Mails ; they are not transferable , and they entitle the holders to carry [ the same weight of luggage as by ordinary trains . For those who wish to travel to or from places off the London and North Western Line , through tickets are issued , but the liability of the

differentcompanies , whose lines , coaches , or steam boats the ticket holders are enabled to use under this plan is strictly limited and governed by their own arrangements , the contract and liability of each being limited to its own lines . As for the districts for which tourist tickets are issued , among the most attractive are Wales and the Lake Country , the South-Western parts of England , the Isle of Man , and Ireland , while Scotland is accessible and can be traversed

by means of the Caledonian Railway , which works in unison with the London and North-Western . However , those of our readers who may be going to avail themselves of the facilities offered by these lines will find all the information they can possibly require in the Illustrated Tourist Programmes issued by the management or they can obtain it at the chief booking offices in the metropolis , at the- principal stations on the Metropolitan or

Metropolitan District Railways , or at the terminus at Eustonsquare , at any or all of which full particulars will be furnished in reference to the train service , fares , luggage , & c , & c . ; and we advise them , if they mean to spend their holiday in visiting any of the districts we have specified , to seek information either of the courteous manager , Mr . George Findlay , at Euston Terminus , or at one or other of the metropolitan stations or booking offices . VVe must

likewise add that the Company have made the usual liberal provision for the holiday makers and excursionists who contemplate setting apart Bank Holiday—Monday , the 2 nd August prox ., —to some expedition into the country . Among the chief excursions which have been organised for the benefit of such are those to the Liverpool

International Exhibition ; to Birmingham in connection with the Grand Fete at the Lower Aston Grounds ; and to the Lake Districts . The tickets issued for these excursions are available from Saturday , the 31 st inst ., to either Monday , the 2 nd , or Thursday , the 5 th prox ., the charges being in each case of the most moderate description . For fuller particulars see bills and programmes as issued by the Company .
