GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.

To lAe gditor.

Bru,—Will you he so kiodas to call the attention
of the Crest Western Railway Company to the
great want of aocommodoticm between Weymouth
and Yeovil. The number of trains being so few,
that to get anywhere and back within a reasonable
time is an impossibility.
I think, Sir, that if you bring the subject
prominently before the authorities, through your
columns, they wiil accede to the request, and run an
additional train each way.
Relieve me daily inconrenienoed, and only
Yeovil, June lat.
