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 My videos are also designed as a historical reference for the days of the past and to reminisce about the way things were.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

[@thatuktrainguy]

Its quite a busy station and the IC225 and HST looks amazing!

[@StarlifeStudios]

There were some gaps for a few minutes (enough for me to down a sandwich!) but it heated up towards the end. It’s stations like this that make me miss the 365s, they were always a delight to see in this area.

[@thatuktrainguy]

@@StarlifeStudios yes! the 365s were some of my favourite trains that ran on the ecml.

[@duainesimpson274]

Simply amazing! Incredible Ross! I’ve watched it twice! And going to watch again before I go to work.. Radical and Splendid 🏆

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thank you so much Duaine, I’m glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻

Hi daddy

É FL Rhiannon all so well to FL so do revisited who all so do do do do do do do extra

[@Tomathy_likes_trains]

😮

[@Tomathy_likes_trains]

I love trains

[@JacobsTrainVideos]

Excellent video Ross!! Looks an incredible station with a stunning view towards London!! Some great variety as usual on the ECML nice to see the HST very nostalgic sight especially with one old Virgin EC powercar! Nice to see the track machine and freight too! Those 91s are excellent and will be sad when they are gone the ECML will be silent when they are gone

[@MJtrewDK]

Im from Denmark and live here. But my dad is english and we´ve always been out and trainspotting together close to York when i come over, usually once a year. I love the voyagers, but didnt know that GC had some of them. Look good in the GC colors. Really like your videos, makes me miss the UK and my dad even more. Cheers !

[@CommodoreRayne.IMP.C-1824]

I think Grand Central only have one or possibly 2 sets of voyagers. And I agree that they look stunning in GC colours, I just wish they painted the carriages too.

[@Dfhghihasmr]

You know it’s a good day when starlife studio uploads.

[@OfficialTrainfan56]

Nice train video

[@ENCTrainspotting]

Excellent video as always Ross! 👍

[@SMILEVIDEOTRAINS]

well captured and presented

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Keith, I really liked this station.. the weather, not so much!

[@SIDGAMINGBRO]

another banger from star life🤩 keep up the brilliant work!

[@StarlifeStudios]

This was a pretty windy day with gusts up to 30MPH, I think I did a pretty good job holding the camera stead but sadly this is also the reason some clips start or end quicker than normal. Thanks for your awesome support! 😃👍🏻

[@Trainzat]

Gotta love the 225

[@DKS225]

That was a cracking clip Ross despite the weather closing in towards the end.

[@BobBob-cu7ne]

Riding the fast trains after being on the slow thameslink trains was an experience of a lifetime

[@DC87-c9sb]

Amazing video once again. Nice to see 91111 in that great livery. Well done

[@thenoworriesnomad]

Excellent video....👍👍

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks a ton! I'm glad you liked it! What was your favorite part?

[@thenoworriesnomad]

@@StarlifeStudios Azuma is my favourite class so I loved it, it’s a shame they don’t come through Kings Sutton (Banbury)..

[@StarlifeStudios]

Interesting you should mention Kings Sutton, there are two weekday passes of a GWR IET (I know they arent LNER AZUMAs) 1M92 and 1V35 both of which I have filmed recently. The LNER Azumas are definately the best livery of any Hitachi product IMO. Thanks :)

[@thenoworriesnomad]

@@StarlifeStudios So will you be putting the videos up?

[@StarlifeStudios]

Of course, very soon actually :)

[@MarcelosalivaTRENESArg]

Excellent video my friends awesome like 👍🏻 and Greeting 🙋🏻‍♂️😊

[@Andrewjg_89]

Never been to St. Neots but it is a nice station on the East Coast Main Line. Nice selection of different trains.

[@SeanMidlandstransporthub]

Great video!

[@BritishTrainsRBX]

Now, this is the video I wanted to see for a long time

[@StarlifeStudios]

I’m glad I could finally provide this for you! I’ve wanted to visit here and Huntingdon for a while. There is another station nearby that’s coming up soon 😉

[@BritishTrainsRBX]

@@StarlifeStudios Can you do Hersham at some point?

[@Desiro360]

Excellent video. Nice one. 😀

[@camotech1314]

The 225s with their blinking LEDs were the best

[@williewu2524]

omg lumo Thank for this video.

[@maimadha]

Great video.

[@Southwestwalestranport]

Neat Video mate, keep up the awesome work! Could you do a Vid at Bath Spa Soon?

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

0:16 that voyager definitely is a foreigner of this route because west coast is their home route not the east coast

[@Sammichyyt]

The class 91 in the thumbnail starts off in my local station bradford

[@davidpanton3192]

The red end of the NMT could do with a respray. Plenty of material here for the *Fast Trains of 2024* vid!

[@StarlifeStudios]

It’s on its way David! The East Coast has no shortage of 125MPH running! I believe 43257 is due to stay with Colas for the long term so it should get repainted into the Jacobs Biscuits livery in the next few months.

[@Danse_Macabre_125]

Hello from the future, 43257 is now orange

[@Anonymoususer_8823]

Didn’t know that Grand Central are using Ex-Avanti West Coast Class 221. Do Great Northern Class 387 stop at St. Neots to & from Peterborough.

[@londonbuses4763]

0:02 Quite weird seeing that voyager not tilt anymore

[@StarlifeStudios]

They have tilt equipment still but the East Coast does not have any TASS fitted so there’s no reason to have it! I believe it is also isolated for all GC workings anyway.

[@Toasted_IQ]

@@StarlifeStudiosthe class 180 your service is dire, your service is canceled because your units on fire!

[@NickSellers-e4x]

Delightful as always sir. How was access to the station? I’m the vicinity for a wedding this week so might pop by!

[@absentmindedjunk]

Love your videos! Does the intro jingle come from a song, and if so, what's its name? P.S., is that Duct Tape on the front of the 180 at 3:32?

[@Danse_Macabre_125]

Of course it is! It's an Alstom product after all :)

[@Dfhghihasmr]

Nice video as always! Could you do one on the west coast mainline? I’m going on avanti west coast to Glasgow on Wednesday!

[@BobBob-cu7ne]

8:17 i remember how much of a racket those electric engines would make

[@-__-.]

Please add HDR for even better quality !

[@barbecuegaming-f6n]

3:33 that class 180 has some tape on its front left... 😬

[@Dfhghihasmr]

My favourite is the lner azuma 800

[@squidgytop.2050]

About a week ago, I was looking to see if you went to St Neots but now you have

[@TrainspotterLuke29]

I saw 801 226 yesterday

[@europeantransportspotting]

Nice

[@BobBob-cu7ne]

4:54 omg those diesel trains still exist!

[@ivanschillaci9110]

How do you know were the freight train are coming and going from? Btw nice video 👍

[@PK345Transport]

Nice video, can you do Ashburys next?

[@TrainsAtStations]

Brilliant video, mate. Out of curiosity, what camera do you use?

[@jamesgoodman1733]

Class 221s are the best train

[@Steamfan-m7s]

Not flying scotsman?

[@jamesgoodman1733]

@@Steamfan-m7s I like 220s and 221s

[@TheRealTrains806UK]

I like the 395 javelin and the HST

[@TITAOTT-3A]

look wise, yeah, they’re up on the list id say. comfort, however… no.

[@TrainspotterLuke29]

@@jamesgoodman1733I like them when they whizz through Northallerton station

[@NolanChance-ux6sd]

SLRS every time the intercity 225 sets pass there going to Leeds and York. Why don’t they run the entire ECML?

[@StarlifeStudios]

Drivers and Train Crew aren’t trained on the IC225s north of York so they cannot be used for those services. Some services to go to Bradford and Skipton but these are rare. Thanks for watching!

[@NolanChance-ux6sd]

@@StarlifeStudios no problem, your trainspotting videos are my favourite:D

[@BonnieBlue94]

18.8k subs, only? i hope you get more

[@OneHundredPiplup]

What is St Neots station like? Are there shops etc there?

[@RobertThomas-io5jn]

Why wasn't great northern in this video? I thought they ran slow trains to Peterborough

[@StarlifeStudios]

These trains only run during peak time. Thameslink run the vast majority of stopping Peterborough services in the day. Thanks.

[@RobertThomas-io5jn]

@@StarlifeStudios Didn't know that, thanks!

[@Finnandbotrains]

👍

[@davidredpath9118]

Can you do Hertford East next?

[@StarlifeStudios]

I’m not currently planning a visit to Hertford East, I don’t believe this station would be very entertaining to film at or watch. Thanks for your understanding.

[@OverSpotterBlackHUS1995]

Nice! Are they high-speed trains?

[@Danse_Macabre_125]

If the thumbnail says HIGH SPEED, and most of the trains here have a max speed of 125mph....

[@LewisCampbell-e5k]

hi starlife studeos I was wondering when you’re next doing to invernes

I’ve drove the first one train 2:37
