A trainspotter with nearly 1.5m followers on Instagram has come to Bristol.
Francis Burgeois has shared a video from Temple Meads station to his 1.4m followers on the social media platform. So far, the post has been liked by more than 65,000 people.
He wrote: "Here we have 37218 and 37425 coasting into the neo-brunellian-esque-scaffolding Bristol Temple Meads."

In the video, Francis can be heard saying that two Class 37 trains are about to pass Bristol Temple Meads. However, after a notification on his train tracker app, he says he is worried that the trains may not be coming to the city after all.
"We were wrong," he continued. "And we then quickly had to dash over to catch them."
The video them shows them running around the station to be able to see the trains - then managing to see them but struggling to keep up.
Bristol Temple Meads is currently undergoing a five-year refurbishment which will involve a variety of projects. Tactile paving is currently being installed in some of the platforms to make it more accessible for visually impaired customers.
The roof is currently being refurbished as well by specialist teams who are currently grit-blasting the steel structure of the main train shed roof. This work is expected to be completed at the end of Summer, with a final phase to follow during early summer 2023.
