I ha...I work for Connex, I won't give you my name.<br /><br />I have to say, your article is a pisser, but I have to say a few things.<br /><br />9/10 when a train is late, it's because some dickhead held the doors open for his mate. Have that happening 5 stations in a row, and you have yourself a pain in the arse delay.<br /><br />Also, Customer Service Officers aren't German/ Russian. However, a few of them do wish they had guns.<br /><br />Trains get cancelled for various reasons. The most common is damage eg: suicide. On average, there is 1 death a day on the train systems, 1 suicide a week. If your train gets cancelled, blame the corpses.<br /><br />I like the idea about the Sado Masochist serial killer ad, you've got a good idea there.<br /><br />But finally, if you don't like the Connex system, then don't use it. Use a car, bus, taxi, bike, run, whatever else there is. It's not like it's an expensive service, and we're certainly not forcing you to use it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-1166661426518078512006-12-21T11:37:00.000+11:002006-12-21T11:37:00.000+11:00Polyester Books have a couple of culture jamming C...Polyester Books have a couple of culture jamming Connex ads that they sell.

It's essentially a set of different services - ticket distribution, ticket collection, train driving, train track signals, station maintenance, the maintenance of train and track, driver training, etc - most of which are probably still controlled by the Department of Infrastructure. I went for a cruise on the Connex website to try and find out, but they're vague on the details.TimThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333303180015967125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-1166531430178173992006-12-19T23:30:00.000+11:002006-12-19T23:30:00.000+11:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.TimThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333303180015967125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-1166523913858571652006-12-19T21:25:00.000+11:002006-12-19T21:25:00.000+11:00Ha, sounds like you've got a fun story about Dande...Ha, sounds like you've got a fun story about Dandenong station and the late night inhabitants - maybe several!TimThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333303180015967125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-1166518306893413532006-12-19T19:51:00.000+11:002006-12-19T19:51:00.000+11:00How about 'Connex: private enterprise getting you ...How about 'Connex: private enterprise getting you where you need to be'?<BR/><BR/>Dandenong is not a fun station to find oneself at 11PM on a Saturday night.Don Quixotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15291358604872256004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-1166505446201514572006-12-19T16:17:00.000+11:002006-12-19T16:17:00.000+11:00It is the basement of the city, it's made entirely...It is the basement of the city, it's made entirely out of plastic, they play awful muzak, and it smells.
