Heart warming , uplifting book .. a true gem !
If you have followed the 2 “masked “ writers who work on London Underground on social media platforms ( see what I did there ! ) then you will be aware of their uplifting , supportive , funny and inspirational quotes that have been delighting passengers and those from far and wide . Even if you don’t know of them , this book is a real “feel good” browsing book set out in a colourful and well presented manner . There is also a introduction about the guys themselves and how and what motivated them to start writing their pearls of wisdom on the information boards . They have reached so many people . A real heart warming book for these dark times buy it for your friends and family or just buy it for yourself !
Great book highly recommend 👍
I've been reading the book tonight and it's just brilliant! Your positivity and thoughful words are much needed this year. You should be very proud of yourselves, thank you so much.
Heartwarming
Have followed them on Insta for years and absolutely love their account. It is lovely to see them reveal themselves and to be able to buy their book to thank them for their (what feels like) freely given support, encouragement and inspiration. They are so often spot on with their posts on any subject from health, to celebrity birthdays disguised as weather reports, to concerts, memorial tributes and other random topics. Quotes are interspersed with background stories and musings. An inspiring book to dip into whenever you feel like it - there are always boards that feel like they have been written just for you.
Spot on moments of calm/kindness/inspiration or a hug
I have followed this account from the early days. I love that the tube stations I used regularly started doing their own thing too. Sometimes I would pass the actual sign and get a little warm fuzzy feeling. Weirdly it felt as if they knew what I needed on certain days. This book is an extension of that feeling. N1 and E1 have used their platform (pun intended) for good, to share their challenges and help us feel a little bit less alone.
Amazing a must buy book.
Absolutely love this. During a bad time this book will be my pick up it's not just a quote book it's a mood pick up book. 🙂
Interesting & inspiring
Bought as a Christmas present, this is full of inspiring, touching & thoughtful words from TFL information boards. There are poems about specific events, health issues, famous people & random streams of consciousness. The book also gives an insight into the authors backgrounds & thus shows where their empathy comes from. The info boards at my local public transport stations just show timetables & ticket fares. I hope Londoners know how lucky they are! Might keep this book for myself...
A must have book
There is nothing to dislike about this wonderful, colourful, inspirational book. A page from the book sums it up nicely - positively positive 🙂👍. Thanks guys for raising our spirits through two national lockdowns. Keep on being you and doing what you do!
Your very own love train ❤️
Absolutely love these two guys have been following like many people for a while and they never fail to hit the nail on the head with some wise words or an uplifting quote, raising awareness of many health conditions whether physical & mental or just raising a smile on your way to a concert, love having them with me everyday, look forward to dancing to “love train”with them soon, thank you for being the light in people’s darkness ❤️
Brilliant Gift
Such a lovely little book. Ideal just to pick up and enjoy whenever you have a minute. Often brings a smile. Brilliant creative writing. Perfect Christmas gift either for others or just yourself. Looking forward to a future 2nd edition.
Gorgeous book - inside and out
After following the All On The Board posts on Instagram, I decided to buy this book as a gift for a dear friend. I knew it would be good but it’s better than expected. Beautifully printed hard cover and the inside pages are of a great quality paper. The overall quality is excellent and really well written. It’s the kind of book that you can dip in and out of and find something new each time. I love it... so much so that I’ve bought another just for myself!
