The Brumby Government last
month dumped Connex as the city's rail operator, and named a new
consortium led by Hong Kong's MTR Corporation as the preferred
train operator... source: the age
i dun take the train as often but this is a welcome change. i
look forward to a dose of hk efficiency with this change.
that said, i rate melbourne's connex is better than
sydney's train service. the latter's schedule is erratic and
compartments mainly filthy.
i understand the smrt also bidded for this but lost out.
