About this title: Millions of people travel on London's tube every day, yet we usually give our fellow passengers only a cursory glance. But each one of these nameless passengers has their own story to tell. At Notting Hill, the mysterious secretary, harbouring her secrets, travels to work; at Highburyand Islington, Adam has a sudden change of heart; and at Holborn, a disastrous reunion is about to take place...With her characteristic mix of compassionate humour and biting realism, this vintage collection of stories is Maeve Binchy at her very best.
Note: This is a general synopsis. Each listing is described below.

Now that I've read it, I find that I have never read a short-story book in which I have related with each and every story! It makes me feel a tad psychotic, but in a good way. The book gets slightly more weird with every story and a lot more interesting. I especially liked the twists in each one and then at a point started waiting for them and felt quite sheepish when sometimes they never came. Binchy keeps you on your toes throughout. This is the first book I have read by Maeve Binchy and I definitely look forward to reading her other books."
"Was living in London at the time, and bought this book at Waterloo Station on the way home. I travelled the Underground every day, and it was fun to read about extraordinary people at ordinary places. Because I'd sometimes looked at fellow travellers forced to spend time together on the tube and wondered curiously what went on in their lives, extrapolating from the little one could see in their clothes and behaviour.
Something to pass the time while commuting, as was reading this collection of Binchy's short stories."
"Wonderful anthology of short stories concerning the riders of the Victoria Line/Central line public transport in London. A bid different concept for Binchy and thoroughly enjoyable. Marketed under a different title in the US."
