Francis, a few months ago i stood next to you as Flying Scotsman flew through rural Oxfordshire (Early in the morning I had snuck away from a family camping trip to admire the spectical). I had no idea who you were, but my son told me. Now we are all big fans of yours. Keep enthusiastically doing what you love, because we love that you are doing what you love. I'm not brave like you, so I'm a bit of a closet-trainspotter but i hope to bump into you, trackside, one day again to say hi, and shake your hand. Happy Christmas!
@@c0rtikoZteroids1 It's cringe. Why do we need wholesome when nice works perfectly, lovely has some real emotion in the word. Wholesome is social media programmed terminology.
Lol 4:58 had me in stitches. ‘The fact you know you’re gonna turn up and it’s going to be there’. 😂 have either of them ridden trains in the UK over the past 15 years?
Bless you for making Deno's day, he looked made up. 🙏 I love your passion for trains. My great grandad was the engine driver of the City of Stoke-on-Trent steam locomotive on its maiden voyage. ✌️😎
You hafd a skill there in warming Tom from something he didn't really want to do (at the beginning) to really enjoying himself (at Clapham Junction and waterloo). Great.
Fantastic video, giving gifts, class 87 made that person's day. How thoughtful, have a great Christmas. I have just subscribed. My first train set was clockwork, the second was the Hymek freight set then 37130
For those people thinking Francis is a fake could not be more wrong. I'm a railway enthusiast myself and his knowledge is not something you read in a book.
"I'd actually been on this beautiful carriage before with my girlfriend which was an extremely romantic experience, to say the least, I hoped today would be just as magical for Tom and I." Ooolala!
The guy that didn't like patterned socks, well he could have accepted them gracefully and then given them to someone who did. He struck me as someone on his way to the Grinch Buzzkill Festival. Bah humbug to him.
Little known fact about Francis is he was actually the infamous 5th member of the Beatles who everyone thought had died but actually travelled through time on a time machine disguised as a train! He ended up in modern day Surrey and learnt to speak the Queen’s English so well that he completely lost his Liverpudlian accent.
Dino here! It was great meeting Francis. It made me so happy! Can’t wait to share this on my Insta.
your a treasure mate stay safe and happy spotting
Thank you for being part of the episode and spreading some joy!! Sending greetings from Sweden!
Yeah dino keeping it real bro
Thanks Dino for being part of the video. Legend.
So lucky
This is such a heartwarming programme. So glad Francis is making train enthusiasm a thing for the next generation ❤
6:40 Tom is describing Candied Yams! 🤗🤗😋😋A Thanksgiving sensation in America!
Sounds disgusting
"Hopefully it fits on your...tree."
Bwahahaha excellent comedic timing
Who do we need to speak to to make this into a full tv show! Global trainspotting with Francis Bourgeois.
That....... Is a fantastic idea.... How about Francis meets with Michael Portillo...
@liam taylor The "dairy" of a virgin?... Wtf are you wittering on about and learn to spell ffs.
@liam taylor No "bud", you wrote dairy and then changed it 😂🤣😂🤣.... If you're not interested in railways, wtf you doing on here??
He should team up with Michael Portillo
Yes!! I love him over here in Oregon USA too!🎉❤🎉
I can't believe I didn't know this show existed until now. It's perfect.
Over one year later and I'm in the same position. How did I go this long!?
Watching this on a train with tears in my eyes 😂🥹 it might be the hangover but still, this was so sweet
You're an alcoholic who can't spell
@@JB-rl8ki what was spelt incorrectly?

I never thought I’d see something so wholesome at the end of this rather perilous year. Bravo, Francis and Tom.
Merry Christmas all ❤
Please don't say wholesome like you're ned flanders.

@@Marconi121 I see it frustrates you, but there’s not much you can do about it, is there
@@c0rtikoZteroids1 Frustrated ??? 😂😂 You presume too much, more like curiosity as to why you're so fake.
Something strangely wonderful about this blokes work.
Like what ???? No work in site

That was a lovely Festive episode. Tom and Francis- two legends 😍
I’ve always had an interest in trains but nothing major, but I could watch Francis for hours!!! He’s such a wonderful, kind and friendly guy.
3:05 Toms face 🤣
This man is the KING of head cams!
Also the king of ditching his best mate Ryan when he got famous,bit of a c**t really
Great program and a great laugh, more next year ..please. I loved the handing out of the locomotive at the start,almost made me cry .
A quality of person who brings a smile and joy
Never heard of Francis before watching this and found it strangely compelling.

Tom’s gift to Francis is so sweet
You hafd a skill there in warming Tom from something he didn't really want to do (at the beginning) to really enjoying himself (at Clapham Junction and waterloo). Great.

What happened to 2023?
Loved the vid very well spoken people 👍
What a great video, and a nice idea to spread the cheer with some presents
I can't believe he attacked sweet potato casserole after reading that entire menu of British food
"I'd actually been on this beautiful carriage before with my girlfriend which was an extremely romantic experience, to say the least, I hoped today would be just as magical for Tom and I." Ooolala!
This is amazing.

Willy warmer..hahahah
He's a polite Alan partridge, ah haaaaa! 😆

Francis needs a proper tv slot every weekend , time we had some decent tv and people like him
7:46 HELP ME that made me die
Tom Daley was at his best on soccer am.
brilliant
The jumpscare at the start i- 💀💀
Francis, you should come to Ireland and explore the Irish railways - we Irish would love to have you visit us - Cead Mile Failte Go hEireann 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪😍
Francis. You are sooo MOD, you aight to buy a Vespa…. It’s you!
Nice blokes they both seem
Not Francis singing in falsetto loool
This is just so wholesome :)
Anyone else spotted the continuity error? :P
Brilliant, thank you, I got your book for Christmas, I’m really enjoying it so far
So cool 😎
Daddy Ryan and Matt sent me 🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️
Good on ya!
Lovely videos. Absolutely smashing. I was thinkin Tom might havd given you a pair of his soeedos 4 Christmas 🎅 🎄
Little known fact about Francis is he was actually the infamous 5th member of the Beatles who everyone thought had died but actually travelled through time on a time machine disguised as a train! He ended up in modern day Surrey and learnt to speak the Queen’s English so well that he completely lost his Liverpudlian accent.

Stephen Fry.
Chris Eubank.
Richard Ayoade.
Tbc, please add..
Big brothers jordan
❤
He's got his Nans Coat on.
less reality rubish, sex and violence , more programming like this please
😊
Yeah very nice thing to do at any time of year - and I have not even watched the Good the Bad and Godforsaken Ugly show .
Tommy sparkles
Idk what railway they're working with but in this country it ain't linear or predictable
Any body recognise the x MP who refused the socks. David Steel I think
I feel like he was expecting a different present instead 😅
4:48 NURO-DI what?
Can I be your special guest next Christmas please ?
Amazing what tiktok can do these days
