Melbourne’s Trains Melt Again
Jan 14th, 2009 by squizzmaster
We’ve had a pretty weak Summer thus far until yesterday when we finally received some scorching weather, one of our first hot ones. As soon as this happens our trains fail and people are left stranded in hot hot conditions.
Connex Continues To Fail You
Melbourne’s public transport, particularly our trains, are continually making commuters pay and suffer, it’s embarressing. I can walk to work so taking the train is never an issue for me, but I wonder how everyone else tolerates it constantly and just gets angry on the inside without collectively doing anything.
Melbourne People Let It Happen
My work collegue said to me this morning, if this was in France, people would be rioting and burning things. Not that this is a better situation, but I think it would be great if there was more passion and strength in our local community that wouldn’t allow the themselves to be continually stomped on.
“A Connex spokeswoman said the situation was inevitable in the middle of summer in Melbourne. “The same sorts of issues are experienced in countries all over the world that run trains in hot weather,” she said.”
Any of these other countries first or second world?
