'Francis is one of the kindest, most genuine people I've met in a long time. His passion and unadulterated happiness is inspiring. I can't wait for more magical adventures with him.' - Joe Jonas

'A National Treasure Of The TikTok Age.' - Grazia

'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 Niall Horan, 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?

Francis Bourgeois' unique style and infectious enthusiasm is proving to be a 'hellfire' hit. His delight is infectious.

The Observer

A charming mix of memoir and manual.

Evening Standard

The TikTok sensation who made trainspotting cool. Bourgeois's book encouragingly bears all the hallmarks of his charm. It rattles along amiably with a beatnik rhythm, full of locomotive trivia and lots of thrashing and screaming onomatopoeia.
