Jesse Lingard Comforts Tearful Francis | Trainspotting With Francis Bourgeois | Channel 4
TikTok’s favourite trainspotter, Francis Bourgeois, is on a mission to get the world on board with the joy he finds in trains.
This time, he’s smashing goals with England midfielder Jesse Lingard - and trying to convince him that a DMU has the same appeal as a match day crowd.
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
He's not genuine. Absolute con man
@@matthewangove6660 yet you’re here scrolling through comments because you’ve nothing better to do than be a bell end but I guess that’s your opinion and one of which you’re entitled. Maybe don’t be a prat all your life. I think his social anxiety is perfectly justified when he has absolute moronic keyboard warriors like you to deal with. You must be so pleased with yourself. Get a life and take your toxicity somewhere else.
@@matthewangove6660 he defo plays into it quite a bit, but he is pretty genuine, I don't think this is a character
The bad Tory won’t come out and support the RMT will he? He’s a fraud.
I don't believe it at all. Keyboard warrior is used way too often. I say it to anyone in person, he's not real. It's not even his real name!
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
That was very heart warming so see you write that comment... I manage autism and what that guy says relating to other rail enthusiasts, I know EXACTLY what he's talking about... I'm also a spotter and get shunned and ignored by other enthusiasts... People can be so unkind at times.... Thank you so for your kind, reassuring words...
I come from a railway family I’ve had Eurostar cab rides you name it he pisses our community off because he’s using his disability to get famous not too mention all rail enthusiasts have been bullied and they still didn’t get rich and famous and we all have our own sob stories but never got famous that’s what makes the hobby genuine
Why don’t people like him? I don’t understand he seems so fun
@@dannyswettenham1251 So...plain old jealousy then. Some "community". Ironic given the first thing you said was how you've had Eurostar cab rides because you're from a "railway family". Something for others to be jealous of, perhaps.
More people like Francis than those who don't brings a smile to my face not met him in person seems like a lovely person tho
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!
Nation needs to wake up and kick in a backside not this snowflake video .
@@LizardLickMoTo Perhaps you're right and our problems are down to all the trainspotters. I hadn't thought of that.
They did lol, this is just a clip
@@Max-xq9bs I'm afraid that was the entire episode! (This series of celebrity trainspotting videos are all between 10 and 15 minutes long.)
i second that motion :)
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.
Me, hate the spazz tw at
Trainspotter here, There are some genuinely horrible and manipulative people. Many I know try to keep to themselves because the wider community can be very toxic and they only talk to those they trust and are chill with. People hate him because of how big Francis has gotten making outsiders known to the hobby, they like to throw stuff mainly because they don't see him as genuine when really francis is just another person who likes trains and that's ok. I see this mainly in the older generation folk who are not liked by the younger generation. But then again there are problems with the younger generation taking it too far as well.
Because other nerds can be cruel people. Especially when they’re angry that some kid with a GoPro on his head is so much more popular then they will ever be. Lots of nerdy guys are just the worst
@@Lewjatan bro what
@@TheWkc19 do the older trainspotters realize they are biting the hands that feed? Rail fan demographics are legit almost exclusively pensioners. Do they want their hobby gone within a couple decades when they're all pushing daisies? Any self aware hobby would kill to be famous on tiktok if it meant a whole new generation would embrace what they spent their twilight years embracing. All the ad money in the world couldn't buy their hobby something as earnest and positive as a youngster encouraging folks his age to come out about their passions. Even a decade ago this type of passion was non-existent for folks in their 20s. It was a hobby you ditched the second you got into secondary school because you'd be relentlessly bullied by everyone. In an era where youthful earnestness is the key to an interest flourishing online, these elder trainspotters need to get a grip or get ready for their hobby to be bankrupt and dead.
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 👏👏👏❤
Seeing him cry really got to me He is just really a great guy who wants to share his heart with the world
Me too
And me ! Never judge a book by its cover !
What a wholesome video. Big up Jessie for being a big brother to Francis here (Even though Francis is taller lol)
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.
Nice one, love Jesse. Who was the other?
@@jeffjeff3872 Juan Mata
@@danan528 Of-F*ckin-course it would be Mata 😂 Arsenal fan here but that guy is the biggest sweetheart ever. Pure love vibes around Juan, he really understands his position off the field, to the fans. And the charity work he does, madness. He's Juan hell of a guy... 😔 sorry about that one. Jesse is such a nice guy too, the video has allowed me to 70% forgive him for moonwalking in our stadium 😭
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.
Brilliant assessment. Love to you, from England
Francis lets his emotions flow so fluently, it really makes me think that letting your emotions out is the secret to a joyfull and happy life, thank you francis we all love you.
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.
You nailed it: the green-eyed monster. Clueless people, honestly.
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!
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!
Stumbled lol… much like most other social media stars this guy far from stumbled, he has rich parents that helped fund his rise to celebrity status and exploited his disability to get the sympathy along the way!! He is playing a character, the passion for trains may be real but a lot of it is exaggerated and created for views!!! Why do you think so many of the successful KZheadrs nowadays aren’t the average kid with a camera type people like 10 years ago and are actually kids from privileged backgrounds? They bankroll the sub-bots and pay for favourable algorithms!!!! This guy is about as genuine as Keith Lemon!!! That’s just what we will see more and more of now with all the avenues available for people to create a celebrity from their own home studio without the need to go thru the old school media route!!! It’s no longer Simon Cowell or some big corporation manufacturing the stars it’s parents doing it with their own kids!! And the scary part is the kids all want it, go to any primary school in the country and ask the kids what they wanna be and 90% of them will say a KZheadr…. And to think we used to wanna be astronauts and firemen!!!
This is sweet, as a kid who wanted to be a trainspotter but had parents push me away because "Liking trains is autistic" this honestly makes me happy.
You do you!!!
Hope u got your diagnosis 😉
@@jamiebury1807 I just liked trains funnily enough.
@@wtfamiwatching7856 haha i was just joshing with you i was diagnosed with aspergers and i dont particularly love trains. They are pretty cool though!
@@jamiebury1807 wow, so not everyone on the spectrum loves trains? mind blowing
What a good man Jesse is - 2 legends of their fields 👍🏻
Lingard is not a legend in his field, I'm afraid.
@@deepzepp4176 of course he is! that season when he made the emirates his dancefloor will never be forgotten.
@@Averageguy31231 No he’s not. He’ll go down as a player who wasted most of his potential by acting like a prat on the internet. He had the odd good game, but far too many average to awful performances.
@@deepzepp4176 give it a rest
@@marlondegnan3524 Give a good argument.
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
Toxic masculinity? I'm curious on your point of view now. What about the World is there toxic masculinity?
I love humanity and I love he let himself live those feelings of love and acceptance.
I think men praising and supporting each other is as masculine as it gets tbh.
Yes but sadly not everyone sees masculinity that way, hence the ‘toxic’ consequences.
You don’t live under a rock. Don’t act stupid. You know exactly what he means.
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! 💪
We need more of different people together.
Jesse Lingard is such a nice guy and I wish him all the success for this season that he can get heads turning again
I only have 1 complaint about these videos. They are not long enough. If you're enthusiasm was a drug, it would be a class A. It's that genuine, powerful and infectious.
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. 🎉
We have to protect Francis at all costs. He is so pure hearted…I can’t 💔🥺💕
Someone who's so genuine like this shouldn't EVER feel bad about their passion. I hope he knows how appreciated he is and how brilliant so many people think he is. Life's too short to not be fearlessly yourself.
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!
Need more positivity in the world like this.
The haters are elitist and self-loathing. Full of envy for a young guy who dared to take the community in a different direction and obtain a platform they themselves wish they had.
In no way does this reflect my opinions but I think the hate is mostly from jealousy of the fact he's the only properly recognised, famous trainspotter.
@@TrainsOfDorset exactly. The rest of us just get weird looks from the public while Francis gets celebrity status.
@@mrK163 he’s charismatic and has an innocence which translates well to all types of people. It’s great that young people are getting involved in things like this and are sparking an interest in others to keep it going.
@@MariahCareyVevo1 no different to most train spotters, so as I said most of us just get weird looks or mocked by the general public for it.
I work within LU and i like to to call them Rail Enthusiasts, But what you wrote about who & how the haters are was simply perfect. Francis is a Legend! and a thoroughly decent human being that just wants to be a part of his community. Judging by the end of the video not all of them are arseholes. And props to Jessie for also being a decent bloke. :P
Francis crying made me cry. It's impossible not to love him 😭
You can tell Francis really loves trains. I know the feeling - I get that way with airplanes. There can be toxic people in every fandom and it brings you down sometimes, but you can't let them. Just love what you love and you'll attract the people that love the same things.
Francis is the definition of success, at least for myself. Taking a passion and making a living out of it. From small videos to writing a book and now his own series all while being so genuine and comforting his inner child. How can you not love this energy and him!
We all need mates like Jesse and Francis
Francis Bourgeois is an absolute legend. Love that guy!
Francis is an absolute king, brings me SO much joy he deserves the best
Two lads who are so different, yet both hugely decent humans. I don’t watch football but Jesse is a top bloke in this video. Everyone needs friends like these two ✌️🙏💕
What a beautiful human Francis is the world needs more people like him we love you Francis ❤
Protect this man at all cost! Loved seeing this side of Jesse too!
It's a joy seeing Francis enjoy what he is passionate about. Need more people in the world like him. A genuine guy with clearly a heart of gold. Hope he makes more of these videos with Channel 4 👍
This is beautiful. Francis is pure joy. Freudenfreude is the perfect word for what I feel when I watch these videos.
Just an innocent harmless guy enjoying what makes him happy and showing off that happiness how can anyone hate on that, you do you Francis 👊
What a genuine moment and jesse is adorable so supportive fun and they both made such a cute pair having fun!!!!
The 'odd couple' really were a team, Jesse was lovely in the way he consoled and built Francis up.
Jesse was so good in this video, gained a lot of respect
I heard him on Radio 4 yesterday, his laugh is infectious and his joy for life is an inspiration to us all! Thank you 🙏
More of this in the world please, lovely to see genuine people with a real love for what they do. Francis (Luke) - you are the best!! 🚆🚆🚆
Francis you are a breath of fresh air and I love your enthusiasm for trains and railways. It’s a bug that loads of us enjoy and you show it in an unbelievable way. Don’t let a few narrow minded people spoil your enjoyment and love for trains and life. It’s like looking on Trip Advisor and despite there being 99 positive reviews we seem to remember the 1 negative about a hotel. Keep believing in yourself and remember the joy you bring to other people like me who love your videos and your personality. Thanks for sharing your videos. Love you to bits. 👍👍👍😁😁😁
Don’t see how anyone can hate on Francis. He’s doing what he enjoys and is a down to earth person. Credit to Lingard too for being so supportive
A lot of people think he's faking it for money :/
Elitist old men who can't be bothered to create their own content. So choose, instead, to attack a young man because he obviously doesn't have as massive of a brain as them
Lingard strikes me as the kind of fella that would have stuck up for the nerdy kid in the playground. Seems to have a kindness about him.
seeing Francis like that melted my heart, I see his clips on Instagram and he is a joy to watch, such an amazing guy and his enthusiasm for his hobby is so charming, as is Francis himself. Stay positive Francis, you are an absolute legend! 😀
Genuinely a bit tearful watching the end of this. Two heroes.
Francis brightens any day with his enthusiasm! How can anyone dislike him? Keep doing you Francis, you are loved by many xx
Oh my days! Need more people like Francis in the world! Genuinely nice lovely young man and innocent as anything
What an incredible person Francis is , thank you Jesse for being so enthusiastic and caring ! Thank you Francis hope to see more of your train spotting adventures 🙏💚
Francis is a legend!! Such a wonderful guy, sod the haters!! Jesse is just lovely 💗
I wish I felt half of what this man feels for life. He genuinely gives me hope for humanity ❤️
Francis you are a beautiful, joyous soul and your happiness and enthusiasm is infectious. Your videos always make me smile x
Fantastic video Francis. Forget the haters, you can’t change them and you don’t need to. Be yourself, always. Express yourself in how you are and what you do. Well done to Jesse for taking part and supporting you. Looking forward to many more episodes. 😊😊😊
Excellent video. So nice to see Francis happy and enjoying him self.
I feel sorry for Jesse even more now. He has experienced true hate to the extreme for years and years and it's still going on.
Francis is without a doubt one of the best things on social media. Respect.
Francis is such a genuine guy and i dont see why people dislike him at all
Apparently he drives exclusively in the middle lane on the motorway.
6ft 7 Geordie trucker here 😢 filling up at this gem of a human at the end of this video. He just wants to be accepted. There's zero ego here, zero harm, zero reason to be hating on him. He's living his life at his happiest and in the purest forms of joy. He's happy, and just showing us how happy he is. I'd have a serious problem with anyone who gave him any form of abuse. He's sure brought me joy just by watching him being so happy. In life I've learned one thing, sometimes the road you were born on is one of difficulty and tests. I searched long enough for peace of mind. Just to be happy. You know? Luke here has found his joy in life. I could hug him I'm so happy for him. Why can't we all just be happy for him? Thank you Jesse for being so kind and understanding and supportive to him. You're a legend ❤
Loved this and I have to be honest, when I first saw Francis I thought it was a clever ' spoof ' but having watched all his content I now know he's a real pucker ' Trainspotter' and a really nice fella too .. big up Francis mate .. 👍
Francis we know you love the trains and we love you just as much!
Great stuff Francis, love your work and enthusiasm for British rail as I do also, regards from 🇦🇺
Watching this from St louis, Missouri. What a cool guy Francis seems to be. I wish more people were like him!
We all love you Francis. You make everyone smile.
Francis Bourgeois is such a legend, he's one of the main people that makes me want to keep trainspotting
I absolutely LOVE this guy. He's so pure. I can see that pitch from my bedroom window.
I've only just found Francis on the web and he's such a great and entertaining guy! I just wish I could have half his enthusiasm, top bloke.
The sporty kid and the nerd get grouped up for a school project
What a top lad Jesse is , bugging him up and comforting him , well done & keep chasing the trains you bring joy to millions ❤️
I will throw hands at whoever says anything bad about Francis! He brings so much happiness and joy ♥️
Francis is a ray of sunshine in a somewhat gloomy world right now. As others have said it’s what we need at the moment. He will gain more and more confidence, this is only the start of his journey! Keep it up Francis we love you!
We should all love something like how Francis loves trains.
The duo we didn’t know we needed!
Omg. I love this. What a story. 2 thrillls in 1. What a blog.
I love his videos. Always a go to if you want perking up. Very witty too. You don’t need to be an enthusiast to love his enthusiasm.
Francis! You make me smile every time I watch your videos! Keep being you! 👍🏻👍🏻
Both absolute top guys, great video 👏👏 the world needs more of people like Francis and Jesse
I love how train enthusiasts are such rare people, that when the general public hears of them, they don't even believe us
We all love you mate, you cheer us up no end. Be you
What a great video and I’m not even into trains myself. Sod, the haters. Francis you seems a top lad. Keep up the good work. Respect.
What a duo❤️. Would love to see another collab with these 2. Perfect combination by far❤️
A beautiful little film on every count. You're very loved Francis 💜
This is so wholesome, a brilliant video. Had me in tears!
The first video i ever saw for Francis was when he was at Brighton station seeing the Dick Mabbutt train and i genuinely thought it was just another meme video just messing about because of the funny name as well as thinking his enthusiasm was put on for the camera as well as the gopro thing too. But then when i watched more of his stuff, i realised it was nothing like that at all and he infact is a huge train enthusiast and his hobby and interest has led to him traveling to other places around the world, having his own book and getting his own mini series which is freaking awesome. So this guy is definitely one of a kind awesome
The world needs more people like Francis 👌👌
Thanks Francis. Keep your chin up mate. You're a credit to us trainspotters. K (73). Jesse was a nice guy too.
Gotta love Francis……and top bloke Jesse for the support he showed.
Cool to see Warrington Bank Quay again. I lived near Warrington briefly between 1981 and 1983 as a teenager. It was from that station that I took an epic InterRail journey all the way to North Africa and back again in a month. This was in the days when France only had a couple of short TGV lines and all journeys had to be undertaken on basic slow trains (yup, probably an average speed of about 25mph). I wouldn't change that experience for anything.
Interailing was awesome. Thomas Cook railway guide in hand, anything was possible!
Such a nice human being. That's why I love him.
The best person to be with if you're going to have a bit of a breakdown. Great show...youre both the BEST!❤❤
Envy is a horrible thing - be you, it makes such a difference to others. Jesse is a great human being 💜💜💜💜
I adore Francis, such a genuine, passionate, amazing guy and I can now Add Jessie to that list!
Francis is an utter legend. These videos are fantastic!
Your loved Francis 😃👍✨ Keep up the good work and never let anyone put you down mate ✊💫 What a great fella Jessie was too ✊💫
My face hurts from grinning the who way through! Lucky girlfriend he’s got! Must be one of the sweets men on earth. We love a bit of Francis and his infectious joy 🙌
Francis you bring joy to myself and my friends - there will always be haters no matter what you do or believe in - there just miserable soulless numpties - keep up the good work ma man. 👍
Well done Jesse A fabulous ambassador for Forest and Football You made that guy's day
Two living legends! 🚂 x ⚽️ = the feels! Well done Channel 4! This is series is excellent! Show teaches the importance of following your passions, non-judgement, empathy and a whole load of other important people skills. Needs a broader platform (excuse the metaphor)
I can confirm Francis is NOT faking his enthusiasm, as I have hundreds of photos and videos of me squealing with delight at trains, too. I have NO idea why.
Aweeee bless him he's awesome your brighten up everyone's day
