Remember Connex and the wonderful times UK commuters had with them? And how they went downunder to wreak their particular type of vengeance? It’s now even worse:
Connex has endured a horror month of cancellations, forcing even more passengers into already overcrowded carriages. Under mounting pressure to allay public safety fears over the faulty brakes crisis, Connex chairman Bob Annells will meet transport regulators this morning before deciding whether to withdraw the entire fleet..
This precipitated an Age poll:
Should the State Government dump Connex?
Yes - 86%
No - 14%
Total Votes: 6243
Wonderful company. Wonderful.

ReplyDeleteWhat do you think though about train companies in general. FOr once I see country's with state owned co's have good service and those with private owned infrastructure have bad services?
As a free-marketeer I find this distrassing. Do you agree with the analysis though?
