If you read yesterday’s post, we discussed the addition of 150 new Melbourne train services. If you believe the media hype, Connex are quite pleased with themselves.

Indeed they believe that after a significant amount of time studying and refining these new additions to the Melbourne rail network, they “have it right“.

I’m may not be an expert, but judging by the unusually large barrage of updates captured by twitter this morning (see post below), Melbourne’s commuters are still as frustrated as ever. (See what they’re saying here)

Granted some delays are unavoidable, but does Connex finally have Melbourne’s trains sorted? It seems not…
