Connex Reviews

Being a non car user, I am pretty much forced to use the train service to get from A to B. Living in the South East you get used to paying far more, for the same service elsewhere. In my local area, it is far cheeper to use the train service than it is the buses and even though Connex is usually a little bit late, it does ultimately get you to ...

As a commuter from the Medway towns I have no real choice other than to use the Connex train service. I wont go into specific times and delays as anyone reading this will know all about them and find it very dull. My gripe is that Connex still has the franchise here although it lost a previous franchise which was performing ...

As a child, I used to love travelling by train when my route was still under the aegis of British Rail's Network SouthEast. As a teenager when Connex took over, I still enjoyed travelling into central London every weekend, despite the occasional Sunday engineering works that would disrupt my journey.

Note that I said normally above; there have been occasions when the 08:03 train's been cancelled at 08:15 or ...

Is it only Connex trains that actually travel backwards or is this something that is catching on all over the country? I have the misfortune of having to travel by Connex train to work every morning (not for much longer - when we move at the end of the month the delights of South West Trains await me), and over the past six months or so have ...
