One man's perspective of the daily grind on board the Connex Melbourne metropolitan train system.

An extract from my first post best sums up what this is all about.
"Perception is reality" was one of the many glib phrases my ex-boss used to regularly use. Well my reality is that I have never had a full week of the train that I want to catch running on time. Let me rephrase that somewhat inelegant sentence - I don't believe that of the ten scheduled trains that I would wish to catch in any given week, all ten have ever run as scheduled. Ever. In over four years of commuting on the Sandringham line, my perception is that at least one train per week is either delayed or cancelled.
That's probably a pretty bold call, so to turn my perception into reality, I plan to keep a diary for a while and we'll see how often Connex can deliver me a full week of reliable services. Yes, I know that's a little self-centred, but isn't that the whole point of blogging?

Mate of mine got an Connex SMS last week telling him the 4:59pm Mordy was cancelled.
Maybe they're back up now?
Last SMS I received was on 26/10. I cover three hours morning and three hours evening, and I know there's been some cancellations since then. Maybe it's only partly working?
Maybe even Connex is embarrassed to advise us how badly they're doing?
If you don't look at it, it isn't there.....
