Official train spotting thread

[Vodata2]

hi this thread is for any1 who is into train spotting

i do it all the time now, i take my clipboard and pen and sit down by a station for hours

some of the things i note down

- How many carriages the train has
- if its on time/if its late i write down how many minutes its late
- if it has graffiti on
- what direction its going
- wheres its going to
- if it looks new/old
- if its busy/empty

its so much fun :D i hope some other ppl on here do it, maybe we could compare notes or something!

[Azul]

You think train spotting is boring? Some guy in my class last year at college was a bus spotter, at break he'd go to the library and look at pictures of buses.

[lSander]

I'm not intrested in trains or stuff btw.

for christmas

[Liberation]

I have those for my regular trips.

[F32]

Train spotters take down the number on the train.

Considering you never mentioned that in your initial post - I'm gathering this is a spam thread.

[Vodata2]

i dont have time to write down the numbers, theres 5 digit numbers on every carriage how would i have time??

[F32]

The number varies; most times nowadays it's more than 5.

That's what train spotters do - they try to get down all the numbers.

This is typical train spotters - some people may do it differently but then there'd be no point.

[Vodata2]

ok, well can u tell me what u noted down when u go train spotting?

[-Sweex]

yeh share it with us!

[F32]

I don't go train spotting; because in my opinion it's a waste of time.

[ZL2.]

lol as someone said on the first page, i don't train spot but i do like them...

[-Sweex]

As if I'm gonna go to east croydon train station with a clip board writing notes on trains.. Are you seriously mad?
Guys, we are dealing with somone who has no life.

[-Sweex]

omg its fun u git

[Adam!]

I laughed, what fun is it watching a train pull into a station?

I mean, I won't deny that I've not stayed in an airport half hour more to watch a few planes land and listen to air traffic control, at least there is something half decent to watch, record and listen too.. But I could not sit at the airport all day watching planes take off and land, yet alone watching trains..

Yeahhhh, so meh.. When im at the airport waiting for a plane, i'll go into a viewing area, stick my scanner on and listen to control and watch some aircraft but mehhhhh!

I wouldn't call it "plane spotting" as such, just watching a few aircraft - It's actually relaxing just sitting there with a coffee, scanner and watching some aircraft making hard landings..

Something I heared on the scanner the other day (Was sat in my bedroom on laptop, had scanner on) "Speedbird 1928 welcome to Manchester, may I suggest you use autobrakes next time as an A320 shouldn't take up 3/4 of the runway...... contact ground 121.85" - Which was funny tbh.
