Goodbye Connex Party

I love to see changes.

Last year I was a commuter from a nothern suburb (Preston). Everyday I took a train to uni and a train back. What annoyed me was that there was 20 min between to trains. I can remember the moments of seeing the gates of the train shutting with a bee-bee in front of my eyes while I was on the out side... Then I have to press the button again and agian hoping the next train is coming a little bit earlier which they never did....

And I also remember the days of track maintenance when we had to take a bus as a replacement. The bus was good when it was express to Bell station. Other than that, I don't like standing in the dark outside of Victoria Park Station with wind blowing under my pants, esp when I was alone.

But I don't think the new operator will prevent the aformentioned scenarios. Frankly, it's not connex fault. ( I am not sure to put a 's here or not)

However, if u hate connex performance and expect to 'give some colour' to the new operator. Or u simply just want to do it. Please clickk the following link for details.
