Book club hosts Gautrain reading trip
Story 1
The Jozi Silent Book Club will host a group reading event using the Gautrain between Marlboro Station in Johannesburg and Hatfield in Pretoria.
On Saturday, book lovers will embark on a one-of-a-kind reading trip, starting at Marlboro Station where they will board the train and read for about 30 minutes while travelling in comfort.
The journey continues to Hatfield in Pretoria, where participants will step off the train and take a break to eat, drink coffee or visit nearby cafés.
They will then return to Johannesburg by train, continuing to read during the trip back.
This initiative promotes reading culture in Johannesburg through a relaxed shared experience that helps people disconnect and read together.
