He was responsible for creating those early ABCs and publications that kept both bus and rail spotters going, and my interest certainly owes him a great debt.

A sad day RIP. I've still got the first spotters book I ever bought. We all owe this man a deep debt of gratitude for starting our interest in trains and buses.

Really sad to hear this - the man has done a hell of a lot for us enthusiasts and hopefully his legacy continues.

A photographic reminder of what Ian Allen started off for many lads back in the days of steam.

Some fantastic photos in the article. I had no idea that trainspotting was that popular!
