Good fare for a lockdown winter, especially the blackbird singing its heart out.

Great video

[@UHarshanBlackBoy1995]

Nice video! I like British Class 800 and 802. They are brand new.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Harshan! The 800s/802s certainly are different, I’ll give you that!

[@UHarshanBlackBoy1995]

@@StarlifeStudios Can you tell me what are the differences between Hitachi AT300 of Class 800 and of Class 802?

[@StarlifeStudios]

Harshan U.S. 1995 Good Question. Cosmetically, the 800s have a base coat of White with stickers on top and the 802s have a base coat of green. The engines on 802s have more power and have they bigger diesel tanks.

[@UHarshanBlackBoy1995]

@@StarlifeStudios Ok. But I live in Belgium so I don't know too much about them. That's why Class 802 goes to Penzance and not Class 800? Do Class 800 also go to Penzance? Because that city is more far away from London than other cities, isn't it?

IETs are cheap plastic

Sorry guys, had to do a re-upload because of a small error I made. Hope you all don't mind :D

You should film at City Thameslink/Farringdon/St Pancras Low Level 😃

[@StarlifeStudios]

I’ve actually already uploaded two videos at St Pancras Thameslink and one at Farringdon. I’ve considered City Thameslink before but the entire station is underground so it might not make for good lighting. I will certainly think about it again if I’m in London soon!

[@chris4484]

StarlifeStudios Rail Videos Ah you’re right. Well if you post any videos of stations in/around London then I’ll be satisfied :D

[@chris4484]

StarlifeStudios Rail Videos Oooh, how about Blackfriars ?

[@StarlifeStudios]

Well, I’m in London a fair bit these days so I’m sure I can get you some more videos! Blackfriars is a strange one, I have actually recorded there twice in the last 4 years but the footage was either so dark because I filmed at night or the trains were so late it would be impossible to figure out what was what! I am planning to go back to Blackfriars though when Thameslink finally goes 24tph.

StarlifeStudios Rail Videos Sounds good. Thanks for the replies! :)

150264 it's said is going to Maesteg 😕

[@arnoldspottingvideos5269]

on the train board.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Arnold Kirumira Hello Arnold, Looks like the driver forgot to change it to Caerdydd Canolog! The service originated from Maesteg from Cheltenham.

[@arnoldspottingvideos5269]

@@StarlifeStudios Lol so the 153 goes to Maesteg but the 150 is going to Cardiff right

Trains in Japan anything over one minute late is unacceptable but 99.99% all on time 🥴🥴

[@StarlifeStudios]

Silent Gamer D H In the UK, anything over 10 Minutes is considered late. Japan’s system really is an amazing feat of engineering.

[@TheArkamedBat]

In Japan,3 seconds late and driver is fired Even more timeliness than Victoria Line
