2007 - Another year...
Welcome, welcome - to another year.
Though this posts comes 19 days after the new year - I still which most of the population, the best of success and prosperity.
Unfortunately - this year, education takes it's toll - and www.whingingconnex.blogspot.com may be left a little left behind on my internet "to-do" lists.

Railway happenings.
Seeing as there are a few issues concerning the networking, this is an aggregate amount of current issues.
Middleborough project
Due to be completed soon (hopefully before the second week of February). Recently 5 sets have been relocated back onto the main network. Connex being noted to have been 'conservative' with the amount of trains, reserved past Blackburn.
Bushfires
Well, just a few days ago, bushfires took their effect on the network. Stranding many commuters, due to power failures.
Bushfires have also caused some signal failures in some locations.
Heat
"Comeng" trains, have been inadvertently have their problems with searing temperatures. Many out-of-service causing many service cancellations.
Intercity operations, have also been affected with speed restrictions, as a safety issue.
Brakes
"Siemens" trains, quite a few sets have been taken out of service. This has come after long-standing problems. They are undergoing "rigerous testing" by Connex in conjunction with Knorr-Bremen (brake manufacturer; who also supplies brakes to other stock in Melbourne) to find the cause of the brakes, involved in incedents overshooting platforms.
Mixed sets
Positive news, ex-M>Train refurbished Comeng fleet, and Connex refurbished Comeng fleet have undergone conversions, to enable them to run together again. Last month, both set's have been reintroduced to the entire network. This hopes to ease pressure on operations, and offer increased flexibility.

If you can gather from the title it does say 'metlink' - which is spelt correctly.
Perhaps using some degree of intellect, you can figure out the correct spelling.
It is now fixed; have a cookie.
Plus in your message you spelt 'website' as "websit" which is WRONG too.
Wrong!!!
