31 Hours

31 Hours by Kieran Knowles

John, Doug, Ste, and Neil work on the railways. They won't sell you a ticket and they don’t drive a train. What happens when you have to clean up the worst day of someone else’s life? Every 31 hours someone takes their own life on the railways in the U.K rail network. It is ten times more likely to be a man. 31 Hours is the story of four men who are employed to clean up after rail suicides. It is the story of four men at work. Four men at home. Four men dealing with their own lives. Their own problems. Dealing with them in their own way. On their own. Silently. It is a story of four men failing to talk.

31 Hours isnt for the faint-heartedHearing the stories behind the jumpers will leave you shocked, moved, even traumatised, but there is a lot of warmth and black humour in the groups relationship to offset its darkest moments. 31 Hours is well-written, deeply absorbing & tackles a delicate subject with an emotional sensitivity.'
