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.
...........MTR......"Mind the Door psss"....... : )
