FIRST-CLASS TRAVEL

Sta,—The L.M.S. railway, who sold me a first-class ticket from Stockport to London, but failed to provide me with a first-class seat (only 27 such seats were on the train), has now, after five weeks' delay, agreed to refund the difference between first and third. I thought your readers might be glad to know this. It may be that claims of this sort will stir the railways into more strenuous efforts to fulfil their contracts.—Yours, Smile Club, W.r.
