 Before you start reading this entry, please...start laughing.
Then stop.
Then answer the pathetic question that I really should know but I don't.

In my defence, can I please say that I haven't travelled on public transport for around...oo...8 years. Yes. 8 years.

So, first day at a new job tomorrow in the city. Need to get off at southern cross

Let's say, I catch the 7.25am from Glenroy station. Does that mean I'll be at Southern Cross at 8.01 or doesn't it stop there....?

If by some miracle Connex runs on time, and continues to for the entirety of your journey - Yes.

Why are there TWO southern cross listings at the bottom of the timetable? Does this mean that it goes through the loop first or something before stopping?

Because that particular train does that. Looks to me like an Express one.

-laughs- Well, by the grace of connex hopefully the trains will run on time. Thankyou

To be honest, at that time, you should be ok.

Thank god...it's been years since I've travelled on public transport - and starting a new job tomorrow along with negotiating getting there on time is stressing me out. I'll catch an early train to be on the safe side. Thanks for your help.

Honestly, with how packed trains and crap get, on your first day .. allow extra time to arrive. I'd go for one train earlier than you're considering - but I am pretty obsessive :S I've just had bad experiences with packed trains, not being able to get on, and having to get the next one in.

Hey there, I did actually take the earlier train and had heaps of time to spare, Thanks so much for the advice :)!
