WRETCHVI) WAIII,II t TATION —it the helf-yearly
mo.ting ..1 the London and Sotith-iV-atern Ililtray
rompanv, held at Waterloo on the 12th inst., Mr.
Burt, of Swsnsce, called the attention of the directors
to the inconvenient arrangements of Wareham Sta-
tion, Mr. Burt sail that, although a large sum of
had hew. laid out for the general improvement
of this station. it is still. as regar is public acoommotla-
lion, one of the worst on the line. Mr. Burt drew
attention to Its walting.room, how difficult it
I. of access when tickets are being issued for express
and through trains. the approach being through the
small booking office. Re also pointed out the station
yard as being much too small for the number of
trehisles usually waiting for throtarh trains. This
being an impel tant station the public have a right to
better accommodation than is at present existing. We
understand that the chairman promised Mr. Bert that
the directors would give their consideration to the
defective arrangements he had drawn their attention
to.—(lf we could only get cvap•tition at Wareham
Station, other shortcomings might be mended there.
It is the most disagre• &hie station, f .r its importance,
of any we have visited, and does not seem much
better now than it was 20 yews is,o.—Ep.l
