Luke Nicolson (professional name Francis Bourgeois) is just an author who chose to create a name for his online and now publishing, activities, which no more make him a 'fake' than the 13 members posting in this thread with their RUK handles (which includes me, - I do not live my life using the class number of a 1960's EMU). It happens in the end, but only after something much more momentous than you would expect from an 11-minute YouTube video. In most of his trainspotting videos, Bourgeois will often be seen wearing vintage rail garb and what he describes as a "blend between railway memorabilia and streetwear. Publisher: Transworld Publishers Ltd Country of origin: United Kingdom Pages: 336 Dimensions (mm): 240x162x32mm Weight: 0.
It traverses through the fields and footbridges of the British countryside, passing through grandiose ticket halls, historic terminals and backwater stations. Later that month, Bourgeois appeared with Josie Gibson on the ITV daytime magazine programme This Morning to discuss the success of his TikTok videos. Saying that a harmless gesture is a "big no no" in the "community" could cause a lot of harm to people who do it. He didn't want his videos to affect this process (which might have been either positively or negatively) or his subsequent career, so he posted under a pseudonym to try to avoid that.
They're all younger than me though, but I instinctively knew about the thrash even if I didn't know the name. In April 2022, he performed a tailwhip on stage during a Sam Fender concert, who he met at the NME Awards a month prior. Why everyone – from Joe Jonas to Gucci – is obsessed with TikTok trainspotting sensation Francis Bourgeois".
That yellow train, I now know why people chase it round the area though I've always laughed when I post an instant shot and read people say they're setting off to see it. Francis comes over as such a nice thoughtdul person, and his passion for trains is relliad in a way that is like nothing I have read / listened to before. This is an utterly joyful book and I’m delighted that Francis’ debut has found the perfect home with Transworld. Bringing joy to millions, his epic journeys have highlighted the importance of connecting with your passions. He also said that the "Bourgeois" name, which I'd assumed to be a rather odd social class reference, actually came from his having at the time visited an exhibition of sculptures by Louise Bourgeois.Not my usual genre and if honest I had never heard of Francis - however it had a few things in its favour…. In one picture he was topless and flexing his muscles, which by all accounts is a deeply unBourgeois thing to do. At times funny and heart-warming, meditative and reflective, and always joyous, The Trainspotter’s Notebook is an ode to the places and people of the railway from the internet’s most beloved trainspotter. Now that his notoriety has hit critical mass, it’s only right that Francis Bourgeois has his own TV show of sorts.
From sleeping in a car to get a good shot of 73962 Dick Mabbutt to trainspotting with Niall Horan, Francis Bourgeois has been on one hell of a ride over the past year. After multiple media appearances and collaborations with public figures such as Thierry Henry, Joe Jonas, Rosalia and Sam Fender, plus brands such as Gucci and Spotify, Bourgeois has a growing social media following of more than 4.
Tik Tok star Francis Bourgeois' legendary trainspotting videos are 100 percent the best thing to come out of 2021". Yes it describes trainspotting stereotypes (those that give the hobby its bad name) but is also an honest account of why trains "turn him on".
