of

National
Railways,
as
he
took
time
out
for
a
few
minutes
today
during
a
typically
busy
morning
to
talk
about
some
of
his
problems
In
the
face
of
ever-Increasing

passenger

with
a

The

It
was

up
the
power,

for
the
traffic
which
has
Increased
phenomenally
during
the

year,
the
peak
of
which
Increase
appears
to
be
nowhere
In

as
yet.
In

of
the
many
difficulties,
however,
the
line
ts
continuing
to
absorb
the
Increased
strain.
"The
traffic
we

on

line
was
nothing
but
a
pic-
nlc
compared
with
what
it
Is
today,"
remarked
Mr.
Glay.
He
added,
however,
that
It

not

by
any

where
the
volume
matches

After
the
long

period
here
when

doldrums,
It
is
natural
that
some
are
finding
It
difficult
to
get

up
to
the

is
