The London, Brighton, and South-Coast Railway
Company have already completed their arrangements
for the review on Easter Monday. Applications for
tickets must be made by volunteers upon specially-
provided forms, between Friday, March 27, and
Thursday, April 2, and they will be available by
certain trains from London-Bridge and Victoria be-
tween April 1 and 6, and by return trains from
Brighton up till and including Saturday, April 11.
No volunteers will be allowed to return from the
Brighton General Passenger Station on Easter
Monday night. Those who break off from their
corps and attempt to return by ordinary trains will
not be admitted to the station, great con-
fusion having on previous occasions been caused by
such straggling parties. Service waggons, fully
equipped for the field, will be received for convey-
ance by passenger trains to Brighton, on any day
from Monday, March 30 to Thursday, April 2, and on
Saturday, April 4, up to one p.m., and they will be
returned on the 7th or Bth. Similar arrangements
are made for artillery guns and horses. The Review
Sub-Committee will register for the information of
volunteers and visitors, a list of hotels, houses an?,
apartments to let. Special train facilities will also
be provided for the general public. All express and
ordinary return tickets to Brighton from London, or
any station distant fifty miles and upwards issued on.
Thursday, April 2, and following days, will be avail-
able within eight days. Additional ordinary trains
from London to Brighton on Easter Monday will
leave London-bridge and -Victoria after the departure
of the volunteers. A special express (first-class
only), from Victoria and back, will leave at 9.30
a.m. and return at 4.45 p.m. Applications for tickets
for this train should be made on and after April 2.
The ordinary service will be suspended on Easter
Monday, but other accommodation will be provided.
