Heading back to Jesse’s home turf of Warrington, and one of the busiest stations on the West Coast Main Line, it’s all aboard to get one of England’s biggest stars excited about trains.
In a touching moment, Jesse gives Francis some kind words as he breaks down over what he sees as backlash from the trainspottting community for allegedly not truly being a spotter.
Join Francis Bourgeois as he goes full steam ahead sharing his love of the most misunderstood British pastime, trainspotting, alongside some of Britain’s funniest celebrities for an wild outdoor adventure of a lifetime.
Across the series, Francis has tickets for comedian Aisling Bea; rapper AJ Tracey; pop star Sam Ryder; and Love Island-er Chloe Burrows on his express train to trainspotting heaven.

Who’s cutting onions… this guy man. How can anyone hate him? He’s as genuine as they come and kudos to Jesse for his support
-
Seeing Francis so self conscious and insecure hurt my heart! I hope he realises how much he’s admired for his enthusiasm! We see he’s genuine and that’s what makes him so special
-
Dear Channel 4, please commission a full length series of this for broadcast. These videos are remarkable and the positivity is what the nation needs right now!
-
Jesse is such a cool guy. No matter the circumstances, just a good guy.
-
How could anyone not like Francis? He is sweet, genuine, adorable. The world needs more people like him.
-
Seeing him cry really got to me He is just really a great guy who wants to share his heart with the world
-
Two things. How anyone can take issue with this guy is beyond me. This country is in ruins and he emanates positivity and joy. Wonderful to see and share. Secondly. Jesse was great too. Respect to both 👏👏👏❤
-
What a wholesome video. Big up Jessie for being a big brother to Francis here (Even though Francis is taller lol)
-
What two fine young guys they are. A heartwarming video. Two guys respectful of each other’s passions in life. Hard to believe fellow trainspotters would not be grateful that an enthusiast like Francois has actually made what was once considered an ‘anorak’ pastime so interesting. I sense jealousy amongst a few of them. But lovely to see him warmly bid farewell at the end. I’m not a trainspotter but find his enthusiasm heartwarming and his love of life infectious.

jesse's lovely. i remember at united, i waited outside to meet the players in the rain and he stopped for a good half an hour signing and taking photos with all of us. he was one of only two players who acknowledged us.
-
Anyone giving him shite will be handled. There IS NO way on Earth we will allow Francis to be put down or harassed. He does GREAT work and lightens the dark days we are in. Much love and respect from the former United States.
-
Francis, there are not enough trains IN THE WORLD to fit all of the people who absolutely love and adore you. Even if there were a few people who disliked you there, don't let that forget the MILLIONS, literal millions of people who's days and hearts you have lightened with your pure spirit. I love trains too - Im in Canada and wish there were more opportunities to enjoy them. You are truly in train paradise!
-
What a good man Jesse is - 2 legends of their fields 👍🏻
-
Francis seems like the type of person who is just genuinely nice and somehow stumbled onto social media. In a sea of shallow “influencers” it’s really nice to see a guy this genuine. Also Jesse Lingard, what another nice fellow in a sport where it seems like arrogance is rewarded. I hope both these guys keep being themselves!
-
This deserves an award. The collaboration I never knew I needed but having seen it just want more. Jesse played a blinder here. Such contrasting personalities showing the best parts of humanity. Anybody who hates Francis are deluded. Congratulations on a truly beautiful vid! 💪
-
Jesse Lingard is such a nice guy and I wish him all the success for this season that he can get heads turning again
-
Francis is a class act and you can tell he's genuinely enthusiastic about everything he does! His enthusiasm is inspiring and that's what it's about. 🎉
-
In a world so full of toxic masculinity this video shines brightly, there are plenty of men who should see this and reconsider their approach to life! Wholesome, kind and genuine guys supporting each others passions and one another. More of this sort of thing, huge love to both x
-
We have to protect Francis at all costs. He is so pure hearted…I can’t 💔🥺💕
-
Amazing to see someone so happy about something, even trains. His haters are probably envious that happiness like that is lacking in their own lives. Also, pure class from Lingard!
