 I have to agree! Very little interest even to the true enthusiast never mind anyone else.. as for the content ? A female maths expert explaining the optimum distance for spotting at a given speed?...Quote''  I'm sure 6203 will be around for a long time'....  3mph and 10ft away and still couldn't read the F'in number (6023) :o ..  and the guy up in Scotland?  No's 44871 and 42005 will be in use on this line this summer...  can't get that right either... the clip sent in by a 13yr old of a GBrf  hauling a special train was taken many months ago and the so called expert didn't have a clue about the GBrf 'convoy' and assumed they must be 'new'.

 I also expected something more, but "Railway Roundabout" will always take some beating . . . . . .  ;D

Was it 'What have you spotted, Dick?'  or 'What have you, Spotted Dick?'

Does anybody remember Railwatch which was shown on the BBC for a week in 1989, am sure that was better than Trainspotting Live and at least 43108 was named BBC television Railwatch.

The show made the front page of The Sun. Unfortunately since they scrapped Page 3 I can't get Jo, 24 from Bristols opinion :(

I did enjoy it, also a bit motivating. Felt a bit offended when Dick called my favourite train (the Super Sprinter) "not very exciting"
