Trainspotting TikTok sensation, Francis Bourgeois, takes us to his university town of Nottingham, the place he first felt he could truly express his passion for trains. He talks about his incredible rise to fame, his love of electronic music and how trampolining with his brother inspired that famous camera angle.

Francis was ecstatic when we matched him with an Alpina B4 for a trip that included trainspotting at Ilkeston station, visiting his former university house in Beeston and stopping at the walkway where he was first spotted by a fan. Was it you who spotted Francis? He would love to hear from you and see the photo you took! Get in touch via the Auto Trader social channels.

You can also see exclusive video footage of the drive on Auto Trader’s social channels, and see the Alpina for yourself.
