vent disappointment, it is recommended that previous notice should be given, when practicable, at the station where they may be required. No charge for landing or embarking carriages or horses on any part of the line.
Road Stations.—Passengers intending to join the trains at any of the stopping-places, are desired to be in good time, as the train will leave each station as soon as ready, without reference to the time stated in the above table, the main object being to perform the whole journey as expeditiously as possible. Passengers will be booked only conditionally upon there being room on the arrival of the trains, and they will have a preference of seats in the order in which they are booked. All persons are requested to get into and alight from the coaches invariably on the left side, as the only certain means of preventing accidents, from trains passing in an opposite direction.
Conductors. Guards, and Porters.—Every train is provided with guards, and a conductor, who is responsible for the order and regularity of the journey. The Company's porters will load and unload the luggage, and put it into or upon any omnibus or other carriage at any of the stations. No fees or gratuities allowed to conductors, guards, porters, or other persons in the service of the Company.
Smoking, Selling of Liquors, &c.—No smoking will be allowed in any of the coaches, even with the consent of the passengers. No person will be allowed to sell liquors or eatables of any kind upon the line. The Company earnestly hope that the public will co-operate with them in enforcing this regulation, as it will be the means of removing a cause of delay, and will greatly diminish the chance of accident.
Parcels.—The charge for parcels, including booking and delivery, will be from 1s. 6d, upwards, according to size and weight.
TRAVELLING TO LONDON, &c.
Arrangements have been made with respectable coach proprietors, by which passengers may secure places in Liverpool and Manchester for London, and other parts south of Birmingham, by coaches, which will await the arrival of the trains at Birmingham; and the delay arising from a change of conveyance in the despatch of parcels is obviated by their being booked throughout, and sent in closed bags.
