Train of thought

Have you ever been waiting for a train at a railway station and forgot to bring anything to relieve the boredom of the train journey to your destination. Yes, your favourite book is on the kitchen table where you forgot to pick it up in the hurry to catch the commuter train. Well, now through the innovative use of vending machine technologies you have a chance to get something to tied you over.

At certain London train stations vending machine style points have been established by Penguin Books called the ‘Short Story Stations’. These machines will make available books to commuters at Canary Wharf Underground and Crossrail stations.
