Connex fun

March 20

I'm currently feeling the full brunt of Connex’s shitness. IT has been a distant news item for me for quite sometime- meaningless headlines emanating from The Age. But now, at 8.37am, sitting on the bitchumen on Merri station, platform 1, it has now become a devastating reality. Rush hour, right. I have just missed two trains because they have been SO chockers full of poor souls. Hands and various body parts were smooshed against the windows, scared faces peering out. It reminded me a little bit of the Thai trains, which were always full of faces staring out at you.

It’s a beautiful morning, I’m heading home. The walk here was glorious and the sun is spreading its golden glory out yonder. But it has been tainted. The PA just announced that the next train was delayed, much to the audible dismay of the other platform go-ers.
