A teenager who has collected almost 90,000 train tickets says he has his sights set on breaking the current world record - before tickets go paperless next year.

James Connolly, 18, has been collecting tickets since 2014 and is on track to achieving his goal after collecting over half the amount he needs.

The current record of 163,235 is held by Frank Helker, a German man who has amassed his own collection since the 1980s and was awarded the title in 2004.
