Question

Why dont young lads want to go trainspotting anymore?

Answer 1

I'm 15 and i trainspot whenever i can

Answer 2

gas costs too much

Answer 3

What's train spotting ? Is that like train watching ? Maybe because the trains today all look alike there's no point !

Answer 4

WTF mabey cause your creepy

Answer 5

Because its rubbish, there's nothing left. Since privatisation its become mundane. I can think of no more a tragic sight than two middle aged men at the end of platform 6 at Leeds actually taking down numbers of carriages.

Thats crossing the line from train spotting to mental illness.

Answer 6

Who says they don't?

And to Aberdeen Tyke, it's no sadder than screaming heads off at 22 men kicking a ball round a pitch or at someone running a race a 100th sec faster than another guy.

Answer 7

young lads don't because they're probably scared of what their friends think. These are the same friends who think it's cleverer to get drunk, carry knives and act like idiots instead of travelling the country, seeing new places and learning a bit of our history. Also, it's not true to say everything looks the same, you just have to know where to go, such as the many preserved railways. It can be far more than two sad middle aged men at the end of platform 6 at Leeds.
