Happy to hear it! 🙂 I've wanted to come here for a while!

[@ukrailspotter21]

Great video Ross. Thanks for sharing mate and keep up the good work

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Arnold 👍 I'm really happy with how this turned out. I suppose it depends if you like the IETs 😃

[@ukrailspotter21]

@StarlifeStudios I don't mind IETs but I still miss HSTs 😢

[@BritishTrainspotting]

Another great video!

[@DTAM-Aviation290]

Always stop off at Taunton on my way to cornwall for my Easter holidays

[@thetrainlover1231]

I love class 800

[@GreatEasternMainlineSpots]

Great video,the flooding has been crazy recently,half of the GEML was underwater! I overheard Greater Anglia staff saying they couldn't see the rail equipment it was that deep!.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks GEML Spots, thats incredible! I hope everyone was ok.

[@TheRealTrains806UK]

I would love it if you visited lostwhithiel, cornwall😀

Great video well edited. When you went to berkhamsted did you go under the rope to get on to platform 2?

[@RickyNowis]

Nice, Taunton station. Such great icons now gone or even going to begin their new life. Great mixed variety :-)

[@StarlifeStudios]

Glad you enjoyed it Ricky. Incredible that these are on their way to Nigeria and Mexico. Frankly, those new owners much have thought theyve won the lottery.. Some of those Mk3 interiors are gold especially the LNER First Class!

[@sidslick1]

Great video!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Glad you enjoyed it 😃

[@traintakes]

Lovely station and lovely part of the world! Visited there a month ago to watch some cricket with a few friends and got some snaps inbetween. Lovely stuff as always.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks TOTB and I’m glad you liked! I really enjoyed this one. There was some downtime between trains but the Starbucks on the station made up for that 😂👍🏻

[@annabelholland]

Are the HSTs still around? I thought they were withdrawn in May 2019 (Paddington)

[@StarlifeStudios]

Some are still around Annabel but use on trunk routes on the Great Western and East Coast are gone. You can still see some on Network Rail Test Trains, GWR Penzance to Plymouth and ScotRail InterCity trains.

[@mgtrains]

Brilliant Catch once again Starlife! I really love the HSTs, what's your thought on them?

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks MG Trains, I love them, a piece of my childhood that I wish could stay. The HSTs themselves are timeless proving time and time again that the modern railway were have today was built on these fantastic machines. What about you?

[@mgtrains]

@@StarlifeStudios You're Welcome Starlife, I really love HSTs they were one of my childhood Trains aswell 🙂

[@maimadha]

​@@StarlifeStudiosI still wish HSTs were a common sight on the rail network

Can we have trains at Torquay

[@Londonproplayer2]

❤The vid btw I ❤ ur videos

[@Andrewjg_89]

Taunton is another railway station that is a good place for train spotting. Shame that CrossCountry aren’t using the Class 43 Mk3 HSTs anymore.

[@StarlifeStudios]

This one had been on my list for a while and even on a Sunday there was lots of HST action. Glad I went when I did, I will miss them so.

[@Andrewjg_89]

⁠Ah ok 👍
