Re: [Melb] Age story about Connex

["Johann Fan" <jyfx@optusnet.com.au>]

Found another error. ABC news reports that the train is the first of six to
be built at Ballarat by Connex. It also describes the emergency button as a
"passenger stress button" So after a stressful day at work, push the button
and talk to the driver? =)

All these errors from so many sources??? The media are having a really bad
day or is it someone else giving the wrong information??

cheers
Johann
