Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The adventure filled memoir written and read by the world's most beloved trainspotter, TikTok sensation Francis Bourgeois.
'Thrashing builds and builds. I look down and pull up my sleeve: I've got goosebumps, making all the hairs on my arm stand on end. I'm absolutely buzzing.'
From sleeping in a car to get a good shot of 73962 Dick Mabbutt to trainspotting with Joe Jonas, Francis Bourgeois has been on one hell of a ride over the past year. Bringing joy to millions, his epic journeys have highlighted the importance of connecting with your passions.
In The Trainspotter's Notebook, Francis shares his greatest trainspotting adventures and takes you with him across the fields and footbridges of Britain, passing through historic terminals and backwater stations in pursuit of tones, thrash and locomotive perfection. Told in his inimitable style, these hilarious and heart-warming tales take you behind the scenes of his most popular videos, and celebrate the places and people of the railway.

You can't beat listening to someone so kind and genuine, talking about something they're so enthusiastic about. Definitely my favourite audiobook to date :)

Best book I’ve ever owned!!!!
After following Francis bourgeois for a while now on social media when I heard he was bringing out a book I was elated I purchased the signed hard copy for being a fan but because I’m not a great reader I jumped at the chance of the audio book with all the knowledge and entertainment francis brings to this audio book with his sound effects and his accents he imitates it’s just fantastic I hope there is a sequel 🙏

Truly wonderful
Loved it from start to finish! Such an interesting and enthusiastic individual who doesn’t conform to norms. Makes no apologies do this, and is a wonderful refreshing breath of fresh air. Francis’ passion is nothing but infectious and I just couldn’t stop smiling. Thank you Francis, keep being you.

Flippin brilliant !!
This book is absolutely filled with such joy and enthusiasm its infectious. Francis comes over as such a nice thoughtdul person, and his passion for trains is relliad in a way that is like nothing I have read / listened to before. He is an observer of the world around him and paints rich pictures with his words even when describing the most ordinary things. Im not into trains (although I have had a sneaky look at train sim after listening to this book) but loved his outlook and pasion. He is also a great narrator. If the world had more people like Francis it would be a better place.
