On the 23rd April 2013 on the 18:36 Northern Rail from Rochdale to Sowerby Bridge, eight valiant (well it is also St. George's Day) book lovers gifted over a hundred volumes to travellers. We hope it added a pleasant touch to their journey and indeed the rest of their evening. Staff from Rochdale Borough Libraries volunteered to gift the books in their own time.
Our journey was made pleasant by the friendly Northern Rail Staff, the conductor, guard or whatever the job title is these days, announced World Book Night over the tannoy and explained that we would be making our way along the train. William Shakespeare himself, I am certain, would have been proud of us celebrating his birthday in this fashion.
