TERMINALS IN ENGLAND.
A London Railroad Station That
Daily Handles Vast Crowds.

Until the new Pennsylvania station
WAS built, the city of New York's rail-
way terminals could not compare with
many OF the big railway terminals on
the other side of the Atlantic. Now with
the Pennsylvania terminal built and
the New York Centrals mighty build
ing in the process of completion, New
York viii boast of the two biggest and
best equipped railway terminals in the
world.
Up to the time that the Pennsylvania
terminal was projected the largest rail-
way station in the world was at Lime
street, Liverpool, a STATEN built thirty
years ago, and used by 10 fewer than
five railways operating in the north of
England. and containing forty plat
forms. The Lime street station is far
surpassed by both New York ter1ni-
nails. In London there are many fla
nous stations with worldwide reputa-
lions, the largest being the Liverpool
street station OF the Great Eastern
Railway, This terminal and the hotel
connected with ii is one of the oldest
and largest in London and handles a
full million passengers daily. Oneiof tile
sights OF the city is to see the enor-
nous crowds that arrive daily from
the eastern suburbs and dispense
through the five exits Of the station.
The stationsis divided into two sec
tons. one for the handling of the main
lines and long distance trains and the
other for local traffic. consisting of
thirty-five platforms The Great East
ern Company, like all other English
companies, has four sets of rails. two
for main line work and the others for
slow trains or locals. The train de-
spatehers handle one hundred out GO
mig trains and the same number of in
coming trains in the space of an hour,
which is the worlds record.
Where the New York terminals are
handicapped is that there is only sulii-
cient room to provide for two tracks.
TO meet all demands created or their
traffic Otherwise the despatchers
here could easily duplicate or exceed
the Liverpool street record.
The Euston station on the London &
North Western Railway is only slight
~ smaller than its rival. the Great
Eastern. and has thirty-twe platforms.
The conveniences and accommodations
for its passengers are much superior,
however other stations with which
Americans are familiar in London ara
the Victoria and Charing Cross sta
tons. of the London and Brighton and |
South Eastern Railways. though they |
are small in comparison with New
York terminals. One of the show sta |
tons of the United Kingdom is the |
Union station at Manchester, which !
has the reputation of being the most |
beautiful, architecturally, of any ter
minal in the world, a boast which is |
somewhat nullified by travellers who
have seen the Great Indian Peninsula |
Railway terminal, the Victoria. at
