Train Numbers - e.g. 43032 or 800110 - These are train numbers which are specific to that train. No trains can be numbered the same. Locos are 5 digit numbers where the first two numbers are the class of train e.g. 67010 would be a class 67. Multiple Units are 6 digit numbers where the first three numbers are the class of train e.g. 390154 would be a class 390. Click Here to learn more

Headcodes - e.g. 1F32 or 5M00 - These are used by the railway signallers to determine where trains are on the network. Every train within a region has a specific four code ID. Click Here to learn more

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 My videos are also designed as a historical reference for the days of the past and to reminisce about the way things were.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.

The 373 noise is just the absolute best.

[@spottymaxy1628]

Very satisfying to see trains outspending car on the motorway

[@171trains]

Great video of some classic HS1 action, especially with the 373s! I'll be going to the location near Charing next week and this is a perfect showcase!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Have fun 171! 😃

The 373 is one of the OGS 👌

[@allmyothersubscriptions]

Thank you for the footage!

[@Trainsforlife89]

I can really sense and appreciate the speed thanks to your splendid filming. Great views in my beloved Kent, where i lived for a full year and i was much honoured to film trains too. Great to see old and new gals on the Eurostar service!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Panos, there’s also quite a variety of shots and locations here some of which show the speed better than others. The Medway Bridge is honestly so incredible to me, the distance and speed makes it for me! This is not my home region but I can definitely see the appeal! 😃

[@duainesimpson274]

[@Traxxas_fan]

I just wish there were more class 373's (the class 373 is my favourite high speed train)

[@AndrewG1989]

Good location right next door to the M20 Motorway. Eurostar Class 373 and Class 374 are so fast and Southeastern Class 395 Javelins are amazing.

[@wrzn271]

Its hard to think that a big thing like that has just gone 180 to 190 mph and now its right by your side

Thanks EJC, I'm a huge fan of HS1 and some of these numbers/shots certainly tested me. You have no idea the efforts I went to to obtain the train numbers of the Medway Bridge shots! 😃

[@ejc7129]

@@StarlifeStudios I bet 🤣😎👀 It used to be hard enough tying to get HST power car numbers at 125mph, so Im sure its very difficult at 186mph 🤔🫣👀 Yes there is something unique and fascinating about high speed rail in the UK 😎🇬🇧 HS2 will add to that fascination and excitement, if its ever fully built? 🤔 The only problem down the decades the railways have always endured are politicians/Governments 🤔 Rarely (if ever) have they made good, long term decisions that benefit the railways in this country 🤡🇬🇧

[@DFWRailVideos]

American here, I am impressed with the UK's HSR network. Beats what we have in the USA for sure! One question, how come the 395s only have one headlight? Wouldn't it be better to have two?

[@WaschiXtreme]

In the UK most trains have 2 Headlights one on each side and a marker light, at daytime the marker light on the drivers side is turned on and the headlight on the non drivers side is on. (The others are off) at night time the headlight on the drivers side is on and the marker light on the non drivers side is on. (Again the other lights are off) this is for the front and at the rear of the train there are 2 taillights (one on each side) wich are on. The reason why this is the case with the 395s and not the Eurostars (373, 374) is because they operate in France and for France there need to be 2 Headlights on each side. Driver’s side: right Non driver’s side: left

[@WaschiXtreme]

If I said 2 headlights each side, I meant one on each side

[@buskid236]

Cool

[@allyreneepenny9447]

Beautiful trains 💯 The Javelin is very fine & the Eurostar.

[@danielgoosen591]

I was watching and noticed how many more southeastern high speed services there were compared to Eurostar services

[@RiDankulous]

I rode the train to work in Atlanta, and it is a less thorough system than what UK has especially around London. Still, the ride was very pleasant to me and I didn't have any stress about driving in very heavy traffic during rush hour. The Great Britain has a very nice system and I rode from Gatwick to London when I visited. I can see how it makes more economic sense though, in the USA to use aircraft for travel being so far between most cities across the country. Still, Large cities can and some do benefit from decent train systems.

Great video StarlifeStudios! Those Javelins look amazing passing at speed, I loved the map at the start it was a simple yet great touch to your video. (Though I’m sure the editing process for it wasn’t short) 😂

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Theo, I love the Javelins too. The map took a make of time to research (especially as I wanted to make sure it was done right!) but I’m happy with how it ended up. Even the sounds took me a while because I wanted to make it subtle. Your kind comments are appreciated 😃

[@AcrossTheNetwork]

@@StarlifeStudios I can tell you from watching it that it was done to perfection! I try to comment on as many videos as I can because I know that as a small KZbin Channel myself, I know how encouraging and inspiring kind comments are so no worries and great video😄

Great video! How did you get to places like Charing and Harrietsham?

[@StarlifeStudios]

At both of these locations there are access gates which walkers can use. The land itself is owned by London and Continental Railways (Network Rail). I'm not someone who will trespass, there was always a fence between me and the railway.

92s usually run in the late evening/night and are rare in daytime. I tried but its pot luck! Thanks Ormond :)

[@LordEverythingtrains]

You should do more videos like this on other lines

[@StarlifeStudios]

I hope to go back to Stafford this year ideally for a full day.

[@maximanuelotuffatz1341]

These trains are great. I like especially the 373 because it is not the same boring shit as in Germany. Don't misunderstand, it is great that Siemens has recived orders, but I don't really like the Velaro. Trains with Lokomotives or Power Cars look more interesting and powerful and inside it's not that noisy. I want to drive the 373 at least once. Which route is most likely to take the Class 373?

[@curt3494]

What sort of speeds are these trains travelling at? Is it 125mph like other high speed trains in the UK?

[@ttvvideos2050]

140mph for the javelins, 170-186mph for the class 373 and 374

[@cteasdale1979]

Hs2 look like this

[@NoZoDE]

Question: Why do the british do the funny thing with their headlights. What does it improve and why don't you just use your lights like most countries

[@StarlifeStudios]

Hello NoZo! The headlamps are designed to be lit at different times of the day for safety - The offside lamp is used during the day, and then the nearside during darkness, since it's angled slightly to the left and down to illuminate trackside signs and to make the train visible to track workers. Newer trains have dipped and high beam lights for the same reason although the left and right arrangements are no longer required as long as lights are in a triangle shape. Hope this helps 🙂

[@SgtRosier]
