THE ADVENTURE-FILLED MEMOIR FROM THE WORLD'S MOST BELOVED ENGINE OBSESSIVE, FRANCIS BOURGEOIS. NOW THE STAR OF AMAZON’S THE GRAND TOUR.

'His delight is infectious.’ The Observer

'Thrashing builds and builds. I look down and pull up my sleeve: I've got goosebumps, making all the hairs on my arm stand on end. I'm absolutely buzzing.'

From sleeping in a car to get a good shot of 73962 Dick Mabbutt to chasing trains across the British countryside, to trainspotting with pop stars and Premier League footballers, Francis Bourgeois’ epic journeys have brought joy to millions.

As Francis takes to our screens as the new host of Amazon’s hit show, The Grand Tour, his debut book celebrates his unbridled passion for engines and takes readers on one hell of a ride.

In The Trainspotter's Notebook, Francis shares his greatest trainspotting adventures and takes you with him across the fields and footbridges of Britain, passing through historic terminals and backwater stations in pursuit of tones, thrash and locomotive perfection.

Told in his inimitable style, these hilarious and heart-warming tales celebrate the places and people of the railway.
