The waiting rooms are badly heated and ventilated, and abominably furnished. The geats are hard and uncompromis- ing, even as the faces of waiting passengers, who sit, intimidat- ed by so much ugliness and em pii- ness, as though in an ante-room of torture--al} silent and all damned. Or consider the railway station buffet. The railway buffet is prob- ably more responsible than any other agency for making the word the most abhorrent in the English language. Not only is station food unappetiz- ing and lacking in variety, it is also dear out of all proportion to the amenities offered.
