#readingontherails

#readingontherails is a community project that encourages people of all ages to enjoy reading as part of their everyday journeys.By placing free books on trains, at stations and in nearby communities, the project helps make reading more accessible while supporting literacy, wellbeing and moments of calm during travel.The project also supports those who may have limited access to books, helping to create positive connections between reading, travel and community life across the Three Valleys.

What this project includes

  • Distribution of free books for children and adults
  • Partnership working with literacy and community organisations
  • Encouraging reading during train journeys and travel time
  • Raising awareness of the importance of literacy and access to books

What’s next

The project will continue to grow, with plans to increase book distribution and explore new ways to support reading and literacy across communities connected by the railway.
