The 7.52 to London Bridge: A commuter's tales of adventure and misadventure

All linked in some way to the trials of the daily shuttle to and from London Bridge, these 14 tales, each designed to be ‘train journey length’ span treasure hunting in a haunted house, a run-in with a rhino, a mallard eating his mother, the supernatural, mistaken identity by the Tory Party, and much more.

If you have ever travelled by train and had to cope with sitting opposite somebody horribly obnoxious with their feet on your seat; or being squashed to death by an overly large person scoffing smelly snack foods; or driven mad by your neighbour's incessant one-way conversation into their mobile, you will know how our author feels. Now imagine trying to study for a science degree in this nightmare environment; you might appreciate why he finds it easier to simply close his textbook, look out of the window and lose himself in dreams of past adventures and memories of misadventures.

Spirit FM book club says - ‘Funny, nostalgic, cleverly conceived and written with style and wit, these stories are the perfect antidote to the wrong sort of leaves on the line and other such ordeals of daily train travel.
