SATIRE & CARTOONS
From grumpy complainers to overenthusiastic small talkers, this satire dissects the many personalities one inevitably encounters on every trip. With sharp wit and playful illustrations, it paints a vivid picture of life on the rails – where personal space is a luxury, delays are inevitable, and social norms are often left at the station.
The added cartoons help bring the wonderous world of travel to life. >MORE
AT THE MERCY OF FATE
Veteran train travelers are all too familiar with the trials of the rails: packed carriages where broken air conditioning turns car 7 into a sauna, relentless delays eroding patience like rust on the tracks, missed connections that make rerouting a lost cause, out-of-order toilets spreading their unmistakable scent through the corridors, and empty onboard bistros leaving hungry passengers stranded.
These are just a few of the frustrations that test even the most seasoned traveler’s endurance.
A must-read for commuters, travel lovers, and anyone who’s ever questioned their seatmate’s life choices.
