A Funny Thing Happened on the Train to the Midlands. COMING SOON – now down to limited availability.
The second book in the ‘A Funny Thing Happened on the Train’ trilogy. Just as book one , ‘ A Funny Thing Happened on the Train to London’ , looked at the shocking, saucy and horrific incidents that happened around the capital – with some history thrown in – book two follows the same successful pattern. 150 pages, coupled with stunning and creative photography – many featuring trains, liveries and train operators that don’t exist anymore. As in book one, there are many graphic descriptions gathered from staff interviews and internal reports – including accidents and injuries. A number of managers have told colleagues that such books should be banned because “It’s not good for public relations if the public hear the opinions of rail staff.” Well, looking at the social media accounts of some rail PR people – including one that posted “I feel like a right hoe” and “I’ve never seen so many (insert racial slur)”, I think the public relations division needs to look closer to home.
Due to be published in June, over 950 copies of the 1,000 print run have already been pre-ordered – many by people who have bought book one. Due to demand from people who missed out on book one – the 1,000 copies being sold within three months – 100 additional copies of ‘A Funny Thing Happened on the Train to London’ are to be printed. This additional printing has only been made possible after intense negotiations with our printers – who would normally not consider a run below four figures – who have agreed to tag it on the back of an order that we are due to place with them in June.
This will be the final opportunity to buy book one and the final opportunity to collect all three books in the trilogy – the third book being due out in 2025.
