The legendary train enthusiast Francis Bourgeois was spotted raving in Manchester this weekend. Francis has developed a loyal following for his enthusiastic videos about trains, becoming a viral sensation for his TikTok videos. He was spotted at The Warehouse Project over the weekend down at Depot Mayfield, which used to be a city centre railway station.
And he was treated like the VIP he is, given backstage access and partying behind the decks. However, it was of course the history of the building that got Francis most excited, and he went to check out the old railway station above the venue.
He filmed himself on top of the building, waving at a freight train and jumping off the old platform, before heading inside an empty Depot Mayfield, saying: “Down below this used to be a Royal Mail sorting office.
“Now it’s home to an awesome club called The Warehouse Project.”
The video then cuts to a full nightclub, with Francis sticking on his signature head-cam and going for a walk through the crowd.
The Warehouse Project and Sacha Lord also shared a video of Francis, showing him dancing on the stage. Sacha Lord said: “We’ve had some A listers attend @WHP_Mcr over the years…but we’ve never seen such a commotion as when Francis Bourgeois turned up this weekend.
