Maybe it's just me, but why do a lot of trainspotters think they no more about the railways than the staff do?
This morning I was preparing a 91 for departure from the Cross (1D27 to Leeds). As I was on the platform checking the front lights some kid complete with notebook and holdall in his late teens started telling me I should be failing the train because "all the lights aren't working"... I tried explaining about different combinations of marker/headlights being used depending on what time of the day it is, but he wouldn't have it. I ended up locking myself in the cab until he went away
A definite candidate for stoatface I think :roll:
