Set Number - e.g. WB64 or NL04 - These are semi-permanent loco hauled coach formations which are kept together for formalities. The first two letters usually indicate the maintenance depot responsible e.g. OC is Old Oak Common, LA is Laira. The number indicates the rake number.
🚄 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 My videos are also designed as a historical reference for the days of the past and to reminisce about the way things were.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.

Hey maybe can you do trainspotting at royal oak you jave to take the circle line or hammeth and city line

[@geraiswaiya2347]

Châpeau for the effort.

[@FJx36]

Nice video! Burnham is one of those stations that looks so weird with the layout but it never fails to disappoint with the trains passing by

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks FJx, it’s a strange island station given its location but like you said it’s one of very few good GWML south stations where there is no barrier.

[@DeanTrainspotting]

Another great video love the sound of the 802s speeding past in their GWR livery!

[@YourAverageGeoff390]

I agree! I can't seem to get enough of the GWR; slowly falling in love with the sight of the 802s speeding through the Berkshire countryside!

[@RickyNowis]

A unique looking station. I like how the station is curved round with an island platform. Nice spotting session you had especially for a lot of freight you had :-)

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Ricky, I got some northern weather in southern England! One of the better stations on this route, most have platform fences 😞 I was supposed to have caught a ROG 37 and 315 on its way to Newport but the movement was cancelled.

[@drdoolittle5724]

Hairy excellent filming Sir, thank-you for sterling service!

brings back memories i used to live in burnham strange station no ware near the village spent many a happy hr trainspotting in the late 50s 60s looks totally different now thanks for sharing

[@geraiswaiya2347]

I have a dream. It is for 125mph-capable Class 746s to be powering along here, connected to the GAML via a second Crossrail. While doing an average of four tones per pass, with the usual insane trainhorn. One can dream.

[@PTLtrainspotting]

I love how it’s an island platform like South Kenton so I think I’m gonna go there thanks for showing it 😊

[@arnoldspottingvideos5269]

Awesome video mate. Nice to catch triple headed 66s on the Wentloog to Felixstowe plus a couple of freight trains 👍

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Arnold, I always try and plan some freight into my videos and some days I’m fortunate 😃 I had originally planned to catch a ROG 37 + 315 scrap move but it was cancelled 😞

[@arnoldspottingvideos5269]

Nice video. I find that Burnham is one of the more Unknown stations on the Elizabeth line. Minding the fact that I've never heard of it

[@davidpanton3192]

Just love the water (steam?) coming off the pantograph!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Im not sure exactly what it is but at the time I assumed it was water spray! Thanks David 😃

[@robertmwamba945]

@@StarlifeStudios What does the 'water spray' even mean?

[@StarlifeStudios]

When a vehicle moves at speed, the water it touches is pushed aside producing spray. It usually isn’t noticeable but when rain settles on the overhead line the pantograph pushes it off giving the appearance of vapour.

[@jamesburnside3023]

Thanks James! I miss the HSTs but at least we have something 😉👍🏻

COME ON FAM, YOU CAN DO IT!!

[@AcrossTheNetwork.Studios]

Brilliant work as always StarlifeStudios and that is some commitment filming in that “British” weather! Ive filmed a trains at… at burnham before and the speeds you can get from the IET’s are crazy, they are of course 125mph but they look so much quicker! 🙂

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Theo, commitment is certainly the word I'd use and sometimes you need a lot of it! The IETs are very photogenic but I cant help thinking that all of these would have been HSTs 6 years ago! 🙂

[@AcrossTheNetwork.Studios]

@@StarlifeStudios Absolutely, commitment is key to a great KZbin Video! It’s such a shame the HSTs are only down south now, i much preferred the roar of there engines as they passed through stations along the GWML! 🙂

[@StarlifeStudios]

@@AcrossTheNetwork.Studios Yep and they will be gone soon! The UK Railway is a fast moving industry so the way it looks today wont be the same as in 10 years time especially due to Climate change. Take it easy Theo! 😃

It’s a really good small station and you’ll get a lot of horns too. If you can plan it to be on a weekday, there’s a good chance you’ll see a ROG 37 scrap move too. Have fun Bacon Trains and also link me to your video when you’ve published it, I’m interested 😃🤞🏻

@@StarlifeStudios No problem!

[@trashrabbit69]

Lots of late trains this day, was the weather a lot worse than what seems on camera?

[@StarlifeStudios]

Oh yes, I managed to hide under the canopies for most of it but later in the day, the inevitable flooding caused delays. I really don’t recommend filming in the rain, it’s a great way to ruin your camera and your sanity! 🤣

[@edentenn1310]

Those are some shots! I love how much activity there is. Quick question, I am new to train spotting and would like to ask how you know when a train is passing by, or were a freight goes?

[@StarlifeStudios]

Hello there! There's two parts to that question both of which require a bit of knowledge but don't worry! To find out what's coming through, I use Realtimetrains.co.uk, if you search a station and look at 'Detailed', you can see that every train has a 'Headcode' which is a 4-character ID (e.g. 1A12). When you are at the station you can use Realtimetrains in combination with Traksy.uk to see the headcodes (the trains) moving between the signals. It takes a bit of getting used to but it's a near-instant website! Have fun 🙂

[@edentenn1310]

Alright, I’ll try this system to see how it works. Thank you!

[@kuzatheaviator]

for public trains i use realtimetrains to find when they are running, then when they are scheduled i check signalbox for their current location

[@StarlifeStudios]

@@kuzatheaviator As you cavitated, Signalbox is great for Passenger trains but it doesn't include freight. I have also found Signalbox to be quite data heavy, not idea for stations where phone signal is lacking. There are lots of alternatives though, Thanks for your input kuza 😃

[@kuzatheaviator]

@@StarlifeStudios yes, i think there needs to be an official program with locations of all trains (freight and passenger) and you can choose which type you want to see

[@Guy-bl3lh]

Bro those 2 387’s are having a race idk

[@NorthernRailKid769]

Cool

[@Greatwesterntrainspotter]

I'm the ceo if burnham thank you for going there

[@Andrewjg_89]

Very nice. Burnham in Berkshire that is managed by the Elizabeth Line is a good hotspot of trains passing by and Elizabeth Line Class 345 serving the station. Does GWR still allow some of their Class 387s to stop at Burnham or is it mainly Elizabeth Line Class 345.

[@MOC923]

3:15 It's Not Elizabeth Line Anymore. What Shall It Be Instead?

[@dancohen9141]

I think you should do a video of kings cross the Caledonian sleeper currently has operating out of Kings Cross. Don’t know the reason.
