Francis and Tom Daley spread the festive cheer! | Trainspotting with Francis Bourgeois | Channel 4

TikTok’s favourite trainspotter, Francis Bourgeois, is on a mission to get the world on board with the joy he finds in trains - and this time he’s spreading some Christmas magic with Olympic champion and knitting enthusiast Tom Daley!
While Tom’s quick to confess his lack of locomotive knowledge, it doesn’t stop him sharing in Francis’s excitement on their magical train expedition.
The magic of Christmas is in full force as they surprise their fellow train enthusiasts and commuters with gifts, before swapping presents themselves.
An epic space hopper challenge results in a workplace injury, but all is saved when the boys join a brass band at Waterloo station for a heart-warming carol concert.
Join Francis Bourgeois as he goes full steam ahead sharing his love of the most misunderstood British pastime, trainspotting, alongside some of Britain’s funniest celebrities for a wild outdoor adventure of a lifetime.

He should team up with Michael Portillo

[@shirleyvmaui]

Yes!! I love him over here in Oregon USA too!🎉❤🎉

[@simoncoppingongoogle850]

Francis, a few months ago i stood next to you as Flying Scotsman flew through rural Oxfordshire (Early in the morning I had snuck away from a family camping trip to admire the spectical). I had no idea who you were, but my son told me. Now we are all big fans of yours. Keep enthusiastically doing what you love, because we love that you are doing what you love. I'm not brave like you, so I'm a bit of a closet-trainspotter but i hope to bump into you, trackside, one day again to say hi, and shake your hand. Happy Christmas!

For those people thinking Francis is a fake could not be more wrong. I'm a railway enthusiast myself and his knowledge is not something you read in a book.

Little known fact about Francis is he was actually the infamous 5th member of the Beatles who everyone thought had died but actually travelled through time on a time machine disguised as a train! He ended up in modern day Surrey and learnt to speak the Queen’s English so well that he completely lost his Liverpudlian accent.
