i work as a conductor on the mbta south side commuter rail ops. we were formerly employees of amtrak but the contract was let out in the summer of 2003 w/the contract going to a consortium of connex bombardier and a consulting group run by a former gm at the mbta....the irony of this is that connex had their franchise to operate in britain a week before they got the contract here. they (connex) are a for profit company and are not maintaing the fleet here up to snuff. politics i guess. the situation in britain was such were br was busted up and different groups were asset stripping br components.the result being br service has suffered badly. passenger trains dont make money never had never will. the companies who are running these ops are concerned w/their bottom line. they have no business running these entities.
