The People on Platform 5 was a truly fabulous read on The Pigeonhole, and not a book I would have picked up to read if left to myself - which is the joy of The Pigeonhole!

Six very different people take the same train every day, never talking to one another (or anyone else - this is an English train, after all!), and it’s not until one of them chokes on a grape, that the ice is broken.

These people are a great cross-section of people you might meet on a train, all with relatable problems, and the train setting was such a good idea. It showed how although we all try to ignore one another on public transport, people are generally more than happy to listen in to other peoples conversations and lend a hand if necessary!

I really enjoyed immersing myself in the lives of Iona and her fellow travellers every day, and felt bereft when the ten day serialisation was over. A recommended read!
