Luke Bowman is the boy who is never lost thanks to an amazing knowledge of public transport.
The autistic 12-year-old knows all the train and bus routes across Greater Manchester, plus the London and Paris underground systems.
Luke, who wants to be a train driver, is so knowledgeable that he managed to get himself and his father from his home in Oldham, Greater Manchester, to Brittany using only public transport.
His mother Tracey said: “He even knows all the underground stops in Paris and exactly where to change. “
“There is nothing that Luke doesn't know about trains, from the country where they were made to their model numbers and what engines are in them. “
“If he's not researching trains on the internet, he's drawing them.”
Tracey added: “His memory is unbelievable. He's so bright that there's a bit of a running joke in the family that if you are ever lost - just ring Luke.”
据英国《每日邮报》11月18 日报道,英国男孩卢克-鲍曼永远不会迷路——因为他拥有令人叹为观止的公共交通知识。
这个患有自闭症的12岁男孩知道经过大曼彻斯特的所有火车和公共汽车路线,以及伦敦与巴黎的地铁路线。
卢克梦想成为一名火车司机。他渊博的交通知识曾帮助他和父亲仅仅依靠公共交通设施从大曼彻斯特的奥尔德姆到达布列尼塔(法国西北地区)。
他的母亲特蕾西说:“他甚至清楚巴黎所有的地铁站和换乘地点。”
“关于火车,从生产国到型号以及使用的是哪种发动机,没有卢克不知道的。”
“他不是在网上研究火车,就是在画火车。”
特蕾西补充道:“他拥有令人难以置信的记忆力,他是那么的聪明。在我们家里有这么一个顺口溜——迷路了,打给卢克。”
