One man's perspective of the daily grind on board the Connex Melbourne metropolitan train system.
posted by Connex Whinger at 9:45 am
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?

Hope you get better soon.
The 8:19 from Ripponlea this morning didn't run. I wonder if it's sick too.
Love, honour, cherish, comfort...
Yep. My job's done.

Hope you get well soon. Hope you didn't catch bird flu in Perth...
Maybe the guy who managers Connex SMSes is sick too? Still no messages since 3/11, although expected messages on 2/11 didn't arrive either...really getting annoyed now, although my trains haven't been cancelled.
Good time for the SMSes to go offline too - during VCE & Uni exams....
