Trainspotting

No, not the 1996 movie Trainspotting starring Ewan McGregor but a new hobby in Singapore and so bizarre I can not comprehend how bored you actually must be to take part in this one. I have heard about "Train surfing" back home, you know that one where you get on top of a train and "Surf" ultimately getting electrocuted or die in some other horrendous way. Turns out the Indians also like this crazy pastime. I digress.

Back to the Trainspotting and at least this one is as safe as you can get. A local club, SGTrains has seen their membership double since January this year. And no, I am not joking. The club gets together on weekends to participate in the hobby of Trainspotting. Basically looking at trains for very long periods of time. Some even record the serial numbers on train cars to see if they are in sequence.

Other activities include checking if things have changed on the interior of the trains, changes in advertisements and so on. Come on people. How can this be fun or interesting? Get a life and do something exciting.

Apparently, the group have gained valuable insight that will assist to enhance the future of train interiors and on board advertising. Maybe there is some purpose to this one but I just don't get it.

I hope I never ever get so bored and join this Group.

Best of luck to all the Trainspotters. Have "Fun"
