🚄 ABOUT ME
Hello everyone, I’m StarlifeStudios and my passion is to experience and video railway stations across the United Kingdom at both small and large locations, but, with an informative twist! My videos are also designed as a historical reference for the days of the past and to reminisce about the way things were. Join me as I continue to travel and be sure to let me know if you’d like me to video at your favourite or local station.

We see: Class 66 Locomotive with Freight Class 165 Networker Class 345 Aventra. I noticed they have very wide doors. Class 387 Electrostar Class 800 and Class 802 IET Hitachi. They are at SPEED!

Hi Busmanpro, Those two types of electrostars you mentioned were the last of the 387 class to be made. I like the livery of these ones, I think it works well.

Great video mate. So many 9 car IETs, 6 cross overs between the IETs and the 387s on the fast lines, great tones and a doppler from drivers for you and two Network people that I can see and 59201 for DB Cargo I love the 59s for a freight train. Sadly no trains going to Paignton or Newquay (Newquay is actually a good bonus to find). Can you do trains at Water Orton on the XCR and for freight action

Hi Arnold! I’m really pleased with this video, plenty of fast IETs! Hard to believe that 2 years ago they were all HSTs instead! I lucked out with getting Network Rail on-site with this one haha. Water Orton is a great suggestion, it may even be one of the next ones!
I can’t help but remember the old Intercity 125’s that use to pass through Maidenhead back in the days. I’m gonna miss them dearly 😢

Duaine, I miss them so. Nothing beats the rumble of a Powercar the seconds before it reaches you at 125MPH. Unfortunately, you won’t see any of that now, not at Maidenhead anyway! Having said that, I do think that the IETs are very photogenic..

Quality is something I’m really striving to improve. My next target with quality is the audio which I hope to improve on the next few videos. That’s for applying for notifications, it’s nice to hear that you consider my videos a special event 🙂. I miss those HSTs, I must venture to Plymouth and Newport at some point to see those fun sized HSTs! 👍🏻

StarlifeStudios Rail Videos I've always had a love of railways and been an enthusiast since a kid in the late 1970's - I remember the HST's being introduced in 1976 to South Wales as I am from that area. The railways now are far different from those in the 1970's and 1980's. Your videos do not need that much improving, if at all. Yes you will see the "fun size" Castle Class HST's at Cardiff and Newport normally working the Cardiff to Taunton class 2 expresses and like you mentioned, you will also see them at Plymouth working local Cornish services to/from Penzance 😊👍🏽

Unfortunately, I’m too young to remember the HSTs being introduced, but I’ve been an enthusiast ever since my dad took me around the country in the early 2000s. Those HSTs became a staple of high speed travel and find it hard to accept the IETs as an alternative. I really appreciate your kind comments.
Loved the video!
Watch out for the 387164, it's really fast. Almost going over 125 mph.

I know there are a couple of those trains most evenings that don't stop at Reading but not specifically. Looks pretty cool seeing them fly through Reading as they are the only passenger trains to not stop there.

Hi SWR Trainspotting, I assume your talking about the ‘Royal Dutchy’ headboard? I don’t think there was actually a difference between this and regular services. Pre-COVID I believe there was a full Pullman menu for longer services and many of GWRs services also had extended destinations e.g. Pembroke Dock. Hope this answers your question 🙂
