_The Evening Post_, 20 Dec 1923:
TRAVELLING FACILITIES
TO THE EDITOR.
Sir,—With the approach of the holiday season and the consequent increase in railway traffic comes the spectacle to be seen at the Railway Booking Office in Willis street. As I write there is a long queue standing tired but patient waiting for an opportunity to get in to buy their tickets. This sort of thing has been going on for years, and is a serious blot on our railway management.
…
Really, Sir, I would urge you to use your influence in having this farce removed permanently.… when this booking office was opened some years ago the travellers requiring tickets could go to a counter and be supplied quickly with what they required, but the Department found it necessary to revert to the little square hole through which you beg your wants. People can do no good by making complaints, because the management has arranged that this stupid process should go on.
If, therefore, you will deal with the matter, surely there will be somebody found in authority in the Railway Department who will made a much-needed change.—l am, etc.,
F. G. CRAY.
20th December.
