DISFIGURED RAILWAY STATIONS
Sla,—Mr. Noel Carrington introduces into this correspondence a most important point. Time-tables may be added to direction signs and advertisements as notices -which should be displayed in appropriate places. At a modernised, and by no means disfigured, suburban station I recently searched for a time-table among a welter of advertisements at the station entrance and in the booking hall, only to be told that I would find one on the platform. Usually it is more convenient to learn what time one's train starts before taking a ticket, having it clipped at the barrier, and climbing the stairs to the platform. Perhaps the present system is meant to encourage the sale of time-tables, which, incidentally, are nowadays so often out of print.—I am, Sir, yours, &c.,
