Ive never seen ANYONE on the train start singing OR smiling for that matter.
All I've ever seen is angry people, punch ups, death threats and so on. I cant stand that ad!

I reckon it's the second worst ad on TV at the moment (the worst is that bloody Sultana Bran ad - heard it through the grapevine).
The people on the train are all so cliche - there's an old guy, a young dude, a goth, a gay bloke etc - gimme a break Connex.
Agree with you its_just_me, this ad is a shocker.
Good article on this here. (http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5478,9387537%255E28957,00.html)

If our Cityrail (Sydney) started an ad like that; I think there would be riots.
I stayed in Melbourne for a week in January (stayed in the city on Spring Street) and made extensive use of the trains and trams when I was there - they're bliss compared to ours.
Here we hear the computer make announcements like "the 5:03 train to Campbelltown via the Airport has been cancelled for today only" so often that we don't take notice - in fact, they're expected :stickout:
Cityrail boasts a reasonable on-time running figure. What they don't tell the public is that a train is counted as on time if it arrives within 10 minutes of the scheduled time. They also have a nice little trick where if a train is in danger of not meeting that criteria, they simply cancel the service.
I'll end my rant there - I've had a very annoying week with Cityrail :)
