Losing an hour of my Life!

Do you know what I hate? Well if you're like me you'll hate it when you rush and get to the station early enough so that you won't miss your train only to end up waiting at the station for sometimes more than 20 minutes because the train is running late. And then there are cancellations and you have to wait for an hour or so for the next train, grrrrrrrr! So you end up being late for work, school, your appointment with a specialist, or whatever! By the time a train arrives it's like the football game has just ended as the platform is jam-packed with angry people all, like you, determined to get onto the next train, no matter what!

After a long day at work and then hours in a night class at uni, I don't want to be standing on the platform on cold freezing night, freezing my t..s off and losing an hour of my life thank you Connex. And this doesn't only happen at night. Delays and cancellations also happen throughout the day and when it does the impace is worse as the times between trains is generally much longer meaning much longer waits during cancellations.

I just see red when this happens because I hate being messed around by poor service and overcrowded trains, trams or buses. It's just not good enough!!! It's bl..dy ridiculous! I hate it, grrrrrrr!! Come on Mr Transport Minister, Peter Batchelor fix this mess up!

Only recently it was reported that more than a 1000 metropolitan trains were cancelled in January! "January was a poor month for Connex and service delivery declined compared with the previous month," the company said in its statement.
