Re: [Ausloco] Connex/Hillside



Chaps,

>Tonight on Ten Victoria News, it had a story about Hillside Trains changing 
>their name to Connex. The livery is Blue and yellow, in the same style as 
>the old "Met" trains but blue instead of Green.

That is not correct. It has a yellow-on-blue CHEVRON. The diagonals are
opposed on each side of the midline. The front end is radically different to
the old Comeng end. It is much more rounded with larger cab windows. Having
sat in the cab, I can say that the visiblity for the driver is much improved.

>Trains) own and operate those lines.

Obviously a typical commercial news blunder!
