Event information
2025 is the 200th anniversary of the birth of the modern railway when Britain and the world changed forever. As a metaphor for life, trains can move forward at full speed, veer off the tracks or become full-on wrecks — so it’s no wonder there are so many poems and songs invoking life on and off the rails. Maggie’s workshop will explore the world of departures, brief encounters, places in between. There’ll be quick fire exercises as well as a more relaxed period to write, with opportunities for sharing and feedback. Choo! Choo!
