Part of the officially licensed Around the World in Eighty Days: The Victorian Age of Travel journal collection, The Railway Station Notebook is inspired by Jules Verne’s novel and railway imagery preserved in the British Library.

Railways made Phileas Fogg’s precisely planned journey possible, transforming distance into routes, timetables and connections. Inspired by the novel and The Railway Alphabet, the design celebrates the energy of the station and the Victorian systems that made the world newly navigable.

Made with specially selected 100gsm writing paper, this compact notebook is ideal for plans, observations and travel memories. It offers museum shops, railway attractions, bookstores and gift retailers an accessible product with strong literary and transport heritage.
