Inspirational quotes on station platforms prove a hit with passengers

Our Welcome Host, Aaron Koduah, at Crewe Station has been motivating passengers with a selection of self-penned motivational messages. Aaron regularly shares inspirational quotes on the notice boards at the station – which have become popular with passengers.

 

He has now published a book, entitled ‘Developing a Strong Mindset: 500 Motivational Quotes That Are Designed To Help You Through Bad Times’ which is on sale at Amazon.

 

Aaron joined the Virgin Trains team in 2015 and began sharing his own words-of-wisdom and some more famous quotes on the notice boards at Crewe station in January 2016. They were an instant hit with passengers on the route.

 

Previously Aaron, 38, served in the British Army for seven years with the Royal Logistics Corp with tours in Afghanistan and parts of Europe after moving to the UK from Ghana. During his time in the army Aaron sought comfort and drew strength from words of wisdom.
