Day 2 Onboard The UK’s Newest Luxury Sleeper Train

Francis Bourgeois's sleeper-train diary has more mileage in it yet. Posted in August, "Day 2 Onboard The UK's Newest Luxury Sleeper Train" is drawing about 21,000 views a day, more than five times its usual daily audience.

For a trainspotter known for exuberant platform encounters and a face-filling fisheye camera, an onboard diary offers a different setting. The comments dwell on his narration as much as the railway: several pick out the bean-related jokes, while others remember an announcement of bedtime that wasn't quite the end of the fun.

One viewer makes a neat observation about Bourgeois's public life: the excitement once belonged to the man spotting trains, but drivers can be excited to spot him, too. Another, more interested in planes, singles out his descriptions and voice rather than the rolling stock.

The sleeper episode isn't his newest outing. "A Jazz-y Surprise For Amy!" arrived on Sunday, while his intervening uploads have taken him to the Madrid Metro and a rare trainspotting location.
