About this deal

Perrie, Stewart (27 November 2021). "Trainspotting Legend Francis Bourgeois' 'Real Name Revealed' ". Lad Bible. When Francis Bourgeois met Craig David – The Making of Better Days (I Came By Train) – Trainline". YouTube. Trainline. a b c d e Fox-Leonard, Boudicca (29 October 2022). "How trainspotting became cool again". The Telegraph . Retrieved 29 October 2022. On paper, his success makes little sense: trainspotting is hardly a hobby associated with broad public appeal. But, 18 months into posting, he now has his own Channel 4 web series and a book about to hit the shelves. The likes of Thierry Henry, Joe Jonas and popstar Rosalía have already joined him on his adventures. And brand Bourgeois is also distinctly high-fashion. Today’s he’s donning grey cords and a vintage Missoni jumper from his collection; Gucci was one of the first brands he partnered with. At 6ft 3in, he could well end up on the catwalk. Instinctively, it doesn’t add up. That’s precisely why today he’s taking me out spotting. I want to see him in action to be certain it’s not all a carefully constructed character act.

Love hasn’t been as forthcoming from the trainspotting community, parts of which have reproached him for making them seem ridiculous. He has also been accused of “begging for tones”, a much-frowned-upon practice whereby spotters make gestures to train drivers to use their horn.

In mid-December 2021, he was accused of donning a superficial persona after photographs from his adolescence emerged, as well as videos of him raving. [89] [93] His response received over 5 million views and was well received. [13] [94] [95] [96] Personal life [ edit ] Ravindran, Manori (4 January 2022).
