What is trainspotting?
Trainspotting is a hobby founded across the world by spotting trains along railways being identified by their look, class and number. There are several other forms of trainspotting in the community such as bashing which is riding behind heritage diesel or electric traction with old coaches or you could be a veg which is where a person particularly specializes in photographing a certain train or just photographing trains in general.

My names Brian, a 17 year old transport enthusiast who wishes to work in the railway industry. Have loved trains ever since birth, but only started taking photos of them since 2021

I mainly like trains because of the way they sound, but it’s also for family reasons. My late grandad, my Dad and Uncle were all and still is in a way is interested in the railway
