Unfortunately, that's why trainspotting is declining as a hobby just because of the fear that if someone sees someone writing down train numbers etc, then it looks more suspicious now due to the climate of fear etc.

I think the longer time goes on and the world becomes more secure, people won't be so fearful of trainspotters at stations.

There are lots of things that have made me fearful, however... the sight of some specky eyed, acne faced, anorak clad, social inadequate, clutching a tupperware box containing his sarnies, writing down assorted numbers on a cold platform conversing with like minded individuals and going into a state of orgasmic arousal and groaning loudly at the sight of a yet unlogged train coming into view fills me with something, but it aint fear.

Well I'm happy he never got the job, the bloke is clearly mental. Walking around Throston suited and booted randomly applauding at sliver cars as if he's in a Premiership stadium.

He’d have just joined a long line of town ‘characters’ alongside Lawrence, Divvy Sharon and others of that ilk.

Just laughed out loud at that. Quality! clappp
