Below is a letter I intend to circulate to assorted people. I doubt it will do any good, and infact going by the language used, it will probably never see the light of day. I can't however bring myself to change it

Guffaw! I especially like the PS - too true, too true! It may not go far, but I bet it will amuse some poor sod (well, *might*, I'm thinking they've probably had a few letters like this by now.) The 7:26 from Preston eh? You and people like you would be the reason I don't even bother rushing to get to the train if I miss my 'window of opportunity' because it's *always* too packer to get on board. I board at Clifton Hill, and basically unless I make the 7:39, I know I'm not going to get on a train until after 8:15, a fact I'm sadly resigned to now. Train after train turns up at Clifton Hill and the people on the platform have to stand there and wait. You would think the little people with the clipboards would have figured this out and that they might put on some *more* trains during that half hour period so people could actually get to work, but no, apparently not. Oh, and I'm probably going to link to this :) and I look forward to whatever response you might get.
Oh we (workmates& I) were so talking about burning them with their evil free coffee but death thru humiliation. That is so much better. Btw the pack of rabid armadillo suicide bomber's holding Carnegie station to ransom is normally at about 11pm on random weeknights.
"PS. And would someone PLEASE take down those how to be a better commuter signs!?! It's insulting considering the complete lack of service my fellow commuters get, for you to presume to tell us how to do OUR job better!"
Perhaps Connex have recieved a plethora of letters like this, though I doubt they were so elequently drafted. Wayward commuters could band together and "suggest" an entire system overhaul, through the main ofice window. Power to the people my dear,
That thought has crossed my mind. They have given me back an entirely unsatisfactory reply (they only actually explained the facts behind why I was sent to Frankston (not the rest of the issues I raised), and the explanation was really "Don't trust the signs on the platform, look at what it says on the front of the train because our system sucks moose balls.")
I need to respond to that email sometime. Then maybe a protest rally. ACA. Some sort of high profile soap box maybe.... :oP Incidentally, the entire epping line was out all weekend the night you guys crashed. So yeah, more ammo.
Also, you should come out to nemesis again sometime. Me and my hordes of cute non-sleazy boys can then provide riots of fun and flirting for you. ;o)
lol, connex executives sucking moose balls :D thanks for the visual. Yayness to nemesis!! I shall try my heardest to make an appearence, but as a miserable art student my funds are limited, and I would most likely treat Cari-an again.
