Anyone know any? it’s always puzzled me what they get out of standing at the end of platforms with their notebooks in the rain. Anyone know what they do?
What a random thread. Ummm no I don't, I assumed it died out in 70s or something. Presumably its the same edge of the seat thrill that plane spotters and bird spotters get, just with ummmm.. . trains.
The office where I work is situated next to a bus station. We regularly see bus spotters. BUS spotters ffs.
I dunno, I I thought it was some really old trains are on tracks still and people are interested in steam engines. I can't imagine spotting a grubby, stinky modern day train that is on the track daily. My dad is a bird spotter, he was intensely interested in me (his only son,) learning it. So when I was a kid i could hear a bird and instantly know exactly what it was. I got bored of it and have forgotten literally all of it.
I like looking at birds. The long legged double breasted mattress thrasher is a personal favourite of mine!
