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 My videos are also designed as a historical reference for the days of the past and to reminisce about the way things were.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

Salisbury, the home to the 158’s at it’s finest 😃

[@StarlifeStudios]

Both 158s and 159s! Some of the 158s are a little worse for wear but there was even more in the depot next door 🤣 Thanks Duaine, this one has been suggested to me a few times and I’m glad to have finally addressed it, it’s a great station too especially if you like some Express Sprinter action 👍🏻

[@user-ue1wu9uu2l]

Especially that one tunnel!

[@RickyNowis]

Here's a small joke, imagine having this in a restaurant: Waiter/Waitress: 'For the main courses, we can suggest for you a Sprinterlodgy Supreme' Which has the mixed flavours of a choice of either Perkins or Cummins seasoning. The choice is up to you sir/madam. Ah, for desert, we can suggest for you a selection of High Speed flavouring with a hint of blueberries and to finish, some strawberry and cream sauce.' Salisbury is for sure the home of the best of the Cummins Class 158/159's. Fully enjoyed watching it :-)

[@StarlifeStudios]

Haha love it! I’d definitely like my Sprinter Supreme Medium Rare with a High Speed Sundae. Thanks Ricky 🤣

[@camotech1314]

I'll just take the dessert thanks 👍 🤣

NOW THATS A LOTTA 158s

[@StarlifeStudios]

It certainly is! 👍🏻

Excellent video!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Max, this one has a lot of 158/159s in it! 🤣👍🏻

[@LordEverythingtrains]

A fantastic video from a very interesting station. Those SWR sprinters are still 👌

[@StarlifeStudios]

Absolutely, despite all of the change in the network over the last 20 years, this station has actually remained almost the exact same since the late 1990s. It’s certainly a great place to get your Express Sprinter fix anyway and there are even more in the depot next door!

[@Trainzat]

Very nice

[@rajeshsen4219]

Excellent video Ross.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thank you kindly 😃

[@Broleem9263]

Nice video Ross, nice to see some 43’s after commuter retirement.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Boleem, this test train is usually the New Measurement Train so it was nice to see 43274 here as well 😃

[@JacobsTrainVideos]

Amazing video Ross!! You got a great mix there of DMUs I like that GWR are using more 158s on Cardiff - Portsmouth instead of turbos! Nice you got to see the NMT twice suprised they havent repainted the powercars yet and nice catch of the aggregates train as well! You got some good tones in the mix and some excellent 158 noises

[@StarlifeStudios]

Always love the 158 engines, some of the best on the network. GWR seem to mix the 165/166 and 158s on these services but I’m not sure what is more common! Thanks Jacob as always 🙂

[@JacobsTrainVideos]

@@StarlifeStudios Probably about a 60:40 split but they should be using a 90:10 split of 158s to turbos instead of 60:40 turbo to 158 split if that makes sense haha

[@ACETrainsUK]

Great video, nice to see the NR HST too!

[@ENCTrainspotting]

Amazing video as always Ross! 👍

[@BritishTrainspotting]

A great video as always!

[@rolymier8659]

Sprinters my DMU of choice. I personally think they are one of the most comfortable units built 😊

[@camotech1314]

The power of those engines! 😤😤😤 No electric wires in sight!! ⚠️⚠️

[@valentinvalentinoss3636]

Man ..... THAT WAS GGRRRREEEEEEAAAAAATTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@The_Irsk04]

As someone who lives near Salisbury and uses this station every time I need to catch a train anywhere, seeing the Sprinters all the time can be a bit mondain and boring at times (only seeing 1 verity of train). However, I never understood how unique the station was being one of the very few large stations in the country that still has 95% of its trains as Sprinters. So I can appreciate that someone from outside of the area coming to the station, it can be quite interesting seeing all the sprinters Great video as always!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Absolutely. That’s interesting because I live in an area where sprinters have become less and less common (midlands) so for me this was fresh and reminiscent. The 159s are solid units and the interiors are pretty good for modern standards too. You aren’t going to see the back of them anytime soon though, there are no plans to get rid of them. Thanks for your thoughts and kind comments, I really appreciate the time you take to type it out 🙂

Hi Ovalo just here to say that today is my birthday and yesterday i been doing trainspotting at York (YRK)

I miss the SWT 159/158's to Plymouth

[@merlintransport]

Looks like a great place to tick off loads of super sprinters! Also how did you find out where the NR HST goes?

[@White-c5]

We are nearly hitting 20k

[@StarlifeStudios]

Nearly there! 😃🤞🏻

[@jordanramsayclements]

So we know if there will be any new trains coming to the Salisbury route? Or if there will be any electrification schemes?

Please can you do a video at stoke on Trent railway station please 🙏

[@AdventuresByRail377]

Really enjoyable video as always! I’m assuming you use a mic on your camera? Can I ask which one please?

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thank you! I either use the built in Mic or a Rode VideoMic. It depends on the weather, the Rode doesn't cope with wind too well.
