It certainly was! It was quite a challenge to capture everything but I managed it 😃

East Croydon one of the most busiest stations in the UK and Leighton City in Stepford County Railway is based off of this station

Yesterday on 26 Oct I went there on Southern from London Bridge, Saw Trams, and we went to King's Cross to go home. An amazing trip. PS: Thameslink was disrupted so had to take Southern (for the first time😃)

there's just something relaxing about watching intensive communter operations in London

@@StarlifeStudios hey no worries your vids are great!

This kind of video really makes you appreciate how good the acceleration ofodern trains is so they don't have to slip coach now. 700s looking good, not so keen on 377s but they play a very important service so better be grateful for them. It hough 455s were retired but I'm probs thinking of something else, unless this was filmed before that. Great video again mate, can't wait for next weeks

I met another trainspotter at Watford junction a few days ago and apparently he was going to head down back to Croydon because he’s from there, what a coincidence 😳

If you ever up north (ish) again I'd recommend dore and totly station (just south of Sheffield main station). You'll get trains down the midland mainline, express and stopping trains to Manchester, as well as the occasional freight service.

Epic work

Good job. One of my favourite stations😍

I’m a stickler for quality so I’m glad you like it although I could go further and get a 60fps camera but the file sizes for these clips are *enormous* and I need to keep them somewhere! I have noticed an uptake in viewers recently some of which have no railway knowledge (which is awesome), I’m really happy that the channel has gained a more broad reach recently 😃

This is one of the videos were the 455's were still in service

Are GTR Southern getting more Class 387s cascaded from Great Northern and Class 387/3 from GWR & c2c to operate them on the suburban services and the Class 455 that are to be sent for scrap. Maybe Southern should get rid of the Class 313 and to operate the Class 377/3 on the East Coastway Line and West Coastway Line routes.

Cool

Nope! The Gatwick Express branded 387s were operated by Southern during COVID and until the end of March 2022. Its a little confusing but the short answer is that they used the GX stock for Southern services.

Hi Thomas, I can largely obtain the unit numbers from my videos although I also use coach numbers noting down any numbers which may be difficult to see. Its also worth noting that almost everything returns from London so its quite common to see the same set of units return after an hour or so. Great question, thanks for asking 😃
