    Ah, but surely a 'rail enthousiast' can include anybody ranging from aforementioned Peak Army 'bashers' to those, like me, who simply enjoy going on holiday and weekends away by train, preferably using the most luxurious trains, especially night trains, enjoying the journey while not taking a particular interest in the rolling stock?

      I took the trouble to Google 'Peak Army' and came across this story in a rag I wouldn't otherwise read;

            Well, my interpretation of the term is that if you have no interest in the rolling stock you just do not understand so you are therefore a normal.

                It can get worse than that. I've known some of the more radical elements to urinate over bystanders on platforms as the train passes through.

                  I would never have suspected that trainspotting could be a hotbed of National Socialist sentiment.

                      The practice of hanging out of the window of a moving train is known as 'Flailing' to us gricers though I personally don't hang my penis out of the window.
