Indeed I'm right, for the PO Stoker's name is mentioned in The Times, below...
'...According to Carley, a passion for train systems is a "leitmotif" of Asperger's. Not only are they a good source of data to memorize and routes to understand, but they are also outside the world of subtle, social decision-making that he says people with AS find most frustrating.
"There are a lot of train-loving people among our folk," says Carley. "Trains move forward. And then there are the tracks! You just sit there. You don't have to decide which way to go - and that's an incredible relief to all of us." '

Also I think we should learn a new word every day so my contribution is Ferroequinologists - train spotters!

What in God's name is going on here. Has everyone gone absolutely stark raving mad ... or just me?
