Comment on Facebook A Tale of Class, ...

I have just finished your book, I bought it on a whim in Waterstones in Oban knowing nothing about it. I can honestly say it is one of the most inspiring books I have ever read. I devoured it with a pencil in hand, underlining stuff on every page. It was like you took all my woolly ideas from my whole life and wrote them out succinctly and with such passion and understanding. Even the bits about being a 'middle class English person' living in Scotland! I really hope I can take forward some of your ideas and channel my anger into making a change. Even a bus route between Oban and Perth would be a start!! Thanks so much for all your work. I am banging on about the book to anyone who will listen. P.S. Bring Back British Rail!

Such an important book. I found it so interesting, easy to read, engaging, informative and inspirational! We need to know what’s going on that affects our lives on a daily basis!

Finally got round to ordering it. Thanks for the reminder, Ellie.

"We have to use the coronavirus crisis as an opportunity to build back a far better national rail network, that's actually going to serve the people who need to use it". I was interviewed on talkRADIO today about Bring Back British Rail's new #TakeBackOurTrains campaign. Take action at 📝👉 weownit.org.uk/take-back-our-trains ... See MoreSee Less
