Overground Trains MADNESS at Canonbury 07/11/2023

[@Ro99]

22:30 four trains at once wow. Also looking at the two trains going away from Highbury & Islington shows how much quicker the trains can accelerate on the 25kV AC overhead than 750V DC 3rd rail!

[@iliketrainsandtrams2762]

GUYS WAKE UP. CANNONBURY HAS UPLOADED 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥

Hi Starlife, Great Video as always. And love seeing the 378s ❤

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Tobias 👍🏻😃

[@Chilternfanrailvideos]

You're welcome 😊

[@thatuktrainguy]

Yessssss!!

[@SDR702]

Been waiting for this one! Cheers.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks for your support and I’m glad you liked it 😃👍🏻

[@Trainzat]

Great vid

[@PK345Transport]

Nice video

[@OfficialTrainfan56]

Good London overground video at canonbury👍

[@StarlifeStudios]

Lots of the same here but I felt like there was just enough freight to break it up even if they are all 66s! Thanks for watching 😃👍🏻

[@Yayz_Indiz]

Good video👍

[@J3ssAkar1n3ko]

Ah yes,Overground overload

[@Buses5748]

Cool

[@SouthEastLevelCrossings]

Another Amazing video. That catch of four trains at once was a definite highlight - Impeccable editing!! That pride-livery 378 looks incredibly colourful too, and nice to see some freight mixed in. Also interesting to watch both 750vDC third rail and 25kv overheads in use here. Great work, Starlife!

[@craigthomson3621]

I remember pre-Overground Canonbury as a two platform station with a train every 30 minutes, and no trains at all on winter Sundays!

[@camotech1314]

I love how much greenery is growing on those rails! 😮😮😮 This station feels like it's been built right in the middle of a nature reserve. 😂😂

[@thatuktrainguy]

Starlife can you do West Ealing

[@StarlifeStudios]

I have thought about West Ealing before, it has a very poor viewing angle of the Main lines so I’m not actively considering it.

[@thatuktrainguy]

Can’t lie I agree with you the mainline trains go past a wall/gate but sometimes they come through the liz line platforms and the freight trains do aswelll

[@tigeyy8277]

Amazing Captures Ross!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thank you!

[@TrainPlayz566]

Amazing

[@Moretonshore2125]

Lovely Video Ross! Request: are you able yo do Westbury & Yeovil Pen Mill?

[@faizul_thetrainspotter125]

Great Video! One question: How often does 3S81 or 3S70 run? Whenever I look out for it, it is always cancelled.

[@StarlifeStudios]

They are seasonal trains which usually every day between late September and early December. All other times it isnt planned to run but the paths are in all year round in case they are needed. Hope this helps.

[@faizul_thetrainspotter125]

@@StarlifeStudios Oh right, I see! Thank you for the clarification! :)

[@Chase_21]

WAIT THIS IS GONNA BE MY LOCAL STATION NEXT WEEK

[@Andrewjg_89]

Been to Canonbury to swap from North London Line to East London Line. I do like the sound of the Class 378 in AC and DC power.

[@arnoldspottingvideos5269]

Great video at Canonbury Ross. This is just 378s chaos and nice to catch 378205 "Every Story Matters" in a beautiful pride livery and TnT 69s on RHTT. I did went to Canonbury (on the 15/06/23) but I only catch a couple of freight trains there plus that 66548 on 4M88 must have been diverted cause it ment to go via South Tottenham to get to Gospel Oak. Thanks for sharing and have a good Sunday. All the best, Arnold

[@StarlifeStudios]

Been meaning to come here for a while so I’m glad I could do it. You’re right about 4M88, it’s meant to go via South Tottenham - not sure why it was routed this way. I was hoping to see some 90s but luck wasn’t on my side. Thanks Arnold 👍🏻😃

[@arnoldspottingvideos5269]

@@StarlifeStudios No problem Ross. The 90s work 4M45, 4M63, 4M87 (but it goes far as Basford Hall because it cannot go to Ditton is only for diesel locomotives) & 4S88.

[@BoogiesTrains]

Some of this is strangely familiar. It was good to meet you that day. I ended up at Willesden Junction. Last part just published on my Boogies Trains channel.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Like-wise! You may even see yourself on the bridge. I ended up at Upminster later that day. I’ve enjoyed watching your recent videos 🙂

[@tojapb1915]

35:13: you really gotta wonder where that 66746 went to get so dirty

[@kevinjones4559]

Amazing renaissance on that line compared with 1980 when I regularly travelled from Richmond to Hampstead Heath in decrepit old trains. Vegetation management leaves a lot to be desired.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Absolutely, its been demonstrated so many times on the UK railways that if you build the infrastructure and run trains, people will use it. This has been the case here, on the Borders Railway and on CrossCountry routes.

Awesome video Ross!! Lots of bustling LO action there and a great amount of freight too!! Definitely need a weedkiller down there at some point tho!! I think Salisbury and Eastleigh would be good stations for you to visit and also will you be intending to visit into Cornwall before castle set withdrawal?

[@StarlifeStudios]

Hello! I can confirm Salisbury has been planned but not yet filmed. I plan to see the Castle HSTs one last time yes but it might be a short visit, Penzance is a long way! Thanks Jacob.

[@JacobsTrainVideos]

@@StarlifeStudios Ah thats good news! Looking forward to it😀

Where is the signalling controlled from ?

[@angus504]

ELL New Cross. NLL Upminster.

[@LordEverythingtrains]

I always thought that this station was bad for variety (which it isnt great) but i might have to pay a visit judging by the number of frieght trains

[@StarlifeStudios]

It is just 378s on the passenger services but you do get a bit of livery variety and if you plan it on the right day (or be lucky) you can also see some specials like a GA 745 or 37. Thanks Lord Everything, hope you had a good Sunday.

[@LordEverythingtrains]

No problem 😊

[@transportlegendshorts]

Could you Film at barking? :))))))))))

[@StarlifeStudios]

I have actually tried before but the C2C staff are very anti-trainspotter and require you to have approval from C2C to even keep the videos saved. I would love to retry if anyone can help me with this. Thanks

[@LordEverythingtrains]

I filmed at limehouse and nobody did anything

[@StarlifeStudios]

The staff told me to delete my videos when I last went to Limehouse. I could always go and try again but at bigger stations you run the risk. It’s a big risk for me since I’d be travelling there just to be told to leave. C2C is one of the worst operators for this but I’ve had issues with Overground and Southern in the past.

[@LordEverythingtrains]

@@StarlifeStudios I mean for me I was just passing and had a short wait for my train anyway, plus I have the advantage of being 13 and thus not a "security threat" (apparently Trainspotters are in league with terrorists these days)

[@LordEverythingtrains]

@StarlifeStudios and also even if that did happen my footage gets saved to the cloud anyway

[@MPProductions1372]

How do u not get kicked out I do quite a lot

[@StarlifeStudios]

Hi MP Productions, I'm not sure what you are doing on stations to warrant being kicked out. That has only ever happened to be twice in 5 years and both were in understandable circumstances. As long as you follow Network Rail's Guidelines, be respectful to staff, don't cause obstructions or issues with trains, I have found almost all stations to be helpful rather than a hiderance.

[@MPProductions1372]

@@StarlifeStudios well I'm just recording no tripod and no flash at cannon Street someone told me I needed permission??

[@StarlifeStudios]

Cannon Street is a Network Rail station so you should really have signed in as a Trainspotter at the Network Rail Customer Service desk. Some stations are worse than others for this but as long as you are not in peak time, they should be able to give you a visitor pass.

[@MPProductions1372]

@@StarlifeStudios tbf thanks is there any other companies?

[@StarlifeStudios]

I personally have issues with C2C a lot but the others are fine.
