I've never seen the movie so I don't know if that would help. Most mornings there appears to be a gent jotting down something in a pad as my train arrives. Carriage numbers I suppose. What sort of thrill do you think he gets? I don't get it.


I understand there are many people who don't understand why people want to chase after a round ball on a football pitch and why others would even want to watch it. Same goes for a lot of sports.


But trainspotting?

What do you want to know Alan? Trainspotting is like stamp collecting...or plane spotting, I guess. Not to be confused with railway enthusiasts/steam railway buffs. It has such an uncool image, its probably cool or something.


I agree with Otta, in rare cases I prefer the film to the book and this is one of them. I don't think I could read Irvine Welsh anymore though I read all his stuff when I was younger and enjoyed it. Radge.

I've a season ticket from ED to London Bridge (?712 a year). Compensation is...70p for any journey over 30 mins late.


Or ?2.80 since January. Hardly worth claiming but I do anyway.

    • Remember, you never know what someone else is going through behind closed doors....
    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc. 
    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
