We joined forces with award winning poet, Helen Mort, who wrote the bespoke poem 'there & back' all about the Manchester Victoria to Hebden Bridge line. Helen describes this poem as a "series of miniatures and some of them are written in the style of Rush Hour Crush, messages from the train to the landscape".
