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 My videos are also designed as a historical reference for the days of the past and to reminisce about the way things were.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

[@StarlifeStudios]

Enjoy this EXTRA long video from Reading West which features 17+ Freight trains of various types! Many thanks for your kind support 😃

[@maimadha]

The freight you saw were awesome

[@spitfiregaming_]

Never seen so much freight in my life, great captures 😄

[@Bpro9211]

Wow fantastic

[@WaschiXtreme]

The only thing missing is an rhtt train lol

[@WaschiXtreme]

How long were you there for btw

[@pokefan-ix7sh]

Reading West railway station serves West Reading, Berkshire, about 1 mile west of the town's main retail and commercial areas. The station is served by local services operated by Great Western Railway. It is 36 miles 75 chains down the line the zero point at London Paddington.

[@GWRTrainFan]

Nice!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks GWR Train Basher, one from your region 🙂

[@transportlegend.shorts]

Amazing video, once again

[@arnoldspottingvideos5269]

That was superb video mate

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thank you very much Arnold, I've been planning this one for a while but luck definately had a hand! 🙂

[@gbtrainspotting2084]

Great Video Iv been in that station several times and it has some stunning trains in there 👍

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks GB Trainspotting, I really liked filming here. Theres also a Macdonalds next door too! I cant help but wish I'd have come here before the HSTs left us.

[@gbtrainspotting2084]

@@StarlifeStudios I absolutely agree with you mate

[@ejc7129]

Great video 😎👍🏽👀 Love those class 70’s 😀👍🏽

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks EJC. 70s are still fairly rare on freightliner workings since most of them are dumped at Leeds Road Depot awaiting parts. Although in the edit I cut it early, you could actually hear the FL 70 from a fair way off!

[@ejc7129]

@@StarlifeStudios indeed…they are lined up at Leeds Midland Road awaiting various mechanical parts from GM in the USA. Thats the trouble with a small fleet like that built uniquely overseas, it will eventually make the class 70 obsolete and they will end up getting withdrawn before their time. The old 56 Peak class 46 locomotives spring to mind - the same happened to them. They were different from the other 127 class 45 peaks in the fact they used Brush mechanical equipment and not Crompton Parkinson, so by the early 1980’s BR saw the “sub fleet” of Class 46’s as a unique liability, and with HST’s beginning to take over their favoured XC routes, withdrawals began in 1981. By November 1984, the whole class was withdrawn, some only seeing just over 20 years service 😧🇬🇧

[@LordEverythingtrains]

Brilliant one Starlife

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Lord Everything. Glad I caught the 57s (luck had a hand in that one!) 🙂

[@TommyTrainspotter47]

VERY NICE!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks RailLife 😃

[@ENC_Trainspotting]

Amazing video as always, loads of freight, the triple header with the 66s and 59 was great👍

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks ENC, 7A09 is a regular double 66 working (due to the weight) and I had done by research before hand. To see a triple was awesome! 🙂 Thanks for your kind comments.

[@ENC_Trainspotting]

@@StarlifeStudios No problem 🙂

[@TrainspottingMax-lk7ny]

Very high quality filming and lots of freight trains, great video!

[@Tornado922]

Another superb film! Very much enjoyed watching this, Reading West has been a station I've been asked to go to on many occasions. I can certainly see why.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Definately one I'll be coming back for! I hadn't expected this to be as good as it actually was. 😃

[@PK345Transport]

Nice video 🙂

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Ethan :)

[@AirTaxiA370]

best time of the week by far, nice video mate!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Air Taxi 🙂 I feel privileged to provide you with something every week!

@@StarlifeStudios and all 10k+ of us feel privileged to get to gather round our computer screens and watch these amazing videos every Sunday. thanks :)

[@dannycarter1966]

Best railway footage I've seen this year. Great stuff.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Danny, I really appreciate your kinder than kind comments 😃

[@171trains]

As soon as I saw this pop up I know it would be good-Reading West sure is a great station to go to, went there a few months ago, never seen so much freight!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Absolutely Tiger Trainz, I wanted to make sure I came here on a weekday just due to the amount of freight! Glad you enjoyed 🙂

[@benGBRf]

Probs one of the best freight hotspots in the UK. Great variety of flows as well. You got some good celeb livery locos as well 👍🏻

[@DairyFruits]

great video, the amount of freight trains is unbeliveable there :)

[@maimadha]

Reading West was awesome with freight

[@duainesimpson274]

Oh my goodness gracious! Reading west!! My very anticipated one of all. Thank you! What a way to kickstart this festive month 🎉❤💯

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks as always Duaine! I'm glad I could bring a bit of smile to the start of your fetive period 🙂🙂

[@fergus.015]

Great video, you got a lot of freight there too also nice shot of the sleeper train at the start.👌

[@mocholandia72]

Nice video, loved the GWRs 🙂

[@StarlifeStudios]

Despite it being simple, I really like the GWR livery. Which GWR train was your favourite? The 57s were mine 🙂

[@mocholandia72]

The 802s, they’re lovely on the inside.

[@Vk.Dane7]

Bloody hell the amount of freight catches!- i always wondered if Reading west was good for freight, i mean its the way towards cornwall and devon if im correct so ofc!- Great Video as always starlife, and nice catch of the sleeper train movement!- keep up the amazing work- and congrats on hitting 9k subs!- 10k here we come

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks for your kind comments Daniel! This is on the line towards Basingstoke and Westbury. This station is a bottleneck of the railway since everything from Southampton docks comes through here. The Sleeper movement was a lucky catch and was planned on the day to turn the sleeper set around using the Reading triangle. The channel is in high gear now and I promise I won't be stopping anytime soon - 10K here we come!!! 🙂

[@mahmoodQureshikohatiPakistan]

This is very beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@TheRealTrains806UK]

Oh, the night riviera! Interesting

[@trainspotterXL]

Hello @StarlifeStudios! I’ve once again enjoyed the last couple of films, thank you! Would you mind filming at Reading again? I like the diversity of station. Thanks in advance 🙂

[@petes48]

Very interesting, but why do the trains to Paddington go left after the station instead of going right?

[@LukeAlfordUKsteam]

There is another junction afterwards allowing Paddington fasts to go under the flyover to platforms 10 and 11 at reading

[@AndrewG1989]

There’s going to be a new railway station to the south of Reading and is called Reading Green Park and will serve Green Park area and Reading FC “Madejski Stadium”. Except the Basingstoke-Reading Line isn’t electrified and is possible to be electrified in the future as part of the “Electric Spine”.

[@OfficialRyanx]

How does this work? Is reading to the right or left of the video? How did so many GWR trains end up going to Paddington but turning left whilst some came from the right?

[@StarlifeStudios]

Hi Ryan, Reading is to the right. The track here is confusing since Great Western trains going towards London use a dive under the mainline so they appear to go to the left although if you look on Google Maps, you can clearly see the route they take.

[@lifestylish1622]

You could do lewes next als amazing video

[@antdan5787]

How many trains pass through per hour?

[@utkubaksl9867]

I think im the first person

[@romwamba4430]

Too many freight trains!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Too many 66s!! 🙂
