Pearson, The Early Years and Tired Irie On 7 April, 2007, I Like Trains featured on the early-hours music television programme The JD Set, which featured live performance clips and interviews. David Martin talked about how he wanted their music to have a "sense of location" and that this was lacking in music like "Godspeed and Sigur Rós". The band work on concept albums which are also optically represented on stage, by means of video projections and the band's dress. The songs on Elegies to Lessons Learnt are based on tragic historical events and figures and the songs were created after thorough research and study. I Like Trains have supported bands including British Sea Power, The Cooper Temple Clause and The Sisters of Mercy.
