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.

    • Completely unacceptable. They need to fund a proper, permanent park warden presence or this sort of behaviour will get worse. Parks should be safe for all to enjoy and being assaulted and threatened by teenage gangs may put more vulnerable people off using the park altogether. If they are prepared to threaten to hurt an animal then where might it lead?
    • Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
    • A quick Google says that it is not undersubscribed unlike many subject schools so those claims mentioned above may not be true. Last Ofsted was good.  You are definitely right about the money. This is what trusts do. Remove word ‘subject’ above Remove word ‘subject’ above I can’t edit my ridiculous errors but would like to apologise  for messy post
    • I have heard claims that people don't send their children there because of the name of the school..?  I genuinely cannot get my head around this one. The school is named after the road it is on which is named after the history of the area!  'Grove Primary School' is potentially the most boring name they could have come up with, and for a school struggling financially, is rebranding the school really the best use of funds?
