The iron rule says - never start a conversation with strangers you see on the train on the way to work. But what if someone violates it?
Iona Iverson boards her train at 8:05 every morning. He regularly sees the same people for whom he already has established nicknames and ideas about their lives. However, they never talk to each other. Of course. One day, however, the Fresh Sexist from Surbiton begins to choke on a grain of grape wine, and at Iona's call, the Suspiciously Friendly Teddy Bear, who turns out to be a medical brother, rushes to his aid. A domino effect has been set in motion.
These people have nothing in common but a commuter train to London, yet they begin to bond and discover that first impressions can often be deceiving. Will her new friends help Iona when she gets herself into trouble?

A new encouraging book full of well-being and wit from the author of the Café at the End of the Street.
