Trainspotting Season

The season is led by a commission by acclaimed artist Andrew Cross presents the experience and method of trainspotting in a new way. Andrew's film explores the anticipation of train watching across a number of international locations. For over forty years, artist Andrew Cross has been watching and waiting, recording and filming. In Parallel Tracks, Andrew takes an alternative look at trainspotting. Drawing upon personal experience, Andrew's work reflects his instinct to record both in visual and written form – as a trainspotter, music fan, photographer and artist. A new film, Being There, explores the patience and suspense of train watching – the sense of anticipation is far from an empty experience. It is not just about trains. It is the adventure of journeying; the sights and sounds of a particular location. Whether in the Californian desert, the Swiss mountains or the rural English landscape, it's about being in the moment. The season also highlights spotter stories, curator finds, and family-friendly activities.
