Hi
It really seems that the media in Melbourne can't get the news correct about
the re-furbished connex comeng 3-car set. The Age and 3aw have said it is a
8-car set and now this from "Facelift on track", Herald-Sun 24/7/00. "Blue
and yellow stripes and a bolt on fiberglass nosecone of the first connex
train did little to disguise the refurbished HITACHI rattler that Melbourne
travelers know well" Well I must say, connex have made that Hitachi rattler
look so-much like a comeng, wait a minute Herald-Sun, connex have
refurbished a comeng not a hitachi.
Also does anyone know when the connex-comeng will hit the rails in revenue
service?
Regards
Andrew
