About this listen

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.

Are you ready to depart?

'Oh for goodness sake, I'm on the wrong platform!'

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
