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 My videos are also designed as a historical reference for the days of the past and to reminisce about the way things were.

That is the first time i've seen a Class 60 on a Tour Train or any passenger train. I'm not sure if it's the first time ever but it certainly is from my end. Brilliant catch.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Craig, I'm not sure either if its the first time ever but it certainly is a first for me recording! 😃

[@Southwestwalestranport]

You can see me in this!!!! It's my local mainline station! Amazing video mate, I'VE MADE IT!!!

[@benGBRf]

Great video mate. Good to see some of the South Wales freight 👍🏻

[@inkysquid4]

Great video again mate, nice variety of trains and opperators, good to see lots of spotters too

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks, I got much more variety here than I expected with a 158 and pair of 153s too! Glad you enjoyed Inkysquid 🙂

[@arnoldspottingvideos5269]

Great video mate. Nice to catch some DB Cargo freights 6:32 and 170270 were so noisy 😂

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Arnold! South Wales is really one of the only places left where DB rule the freight traffic, also great for reliable DB 60 services! Got some awesome drivers as well. 😃

[@ejc7129]

Great video mate...nice catch with the rail-tour too 👀😎👍🏽 Thats one of my local stations..if I knew you were there I would have popped along to say hello 😊👍🏽

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks EJC! That would have been awesome to catch up with you! Next time I’m in South Wales, I’ll drop you a line 😃

Bridgend railway station is a main line station serving the town of Bridgend, south Wales. It is located approximately halfway between Cardiff Central and Swansea stations, at the point where the Maesteg Line diverges from the South Wales Main Line; it is also the western terminus of the Vale of Glamorgan Line from Cardiff. It is 165 miles measured from London Paddington. It is the fifth-busiest station in Wales, after Cardiff Central, Cardiff Queen Street, Newport and Swansea.

Mega mega Bridgend railway station is. Odd that the 150's were running a very odd service Bridgend to Bridgend. Where do they run via?

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Ricky! 😃 The Bridgend to Bridgend services are just to put the 150 onto the mainlines because of disruption (there’s no points to cross) they usually run via Cardiff Airport.

[@mrorangeaventra4683]

Cool

[@demil3618]

How do you know schedule and destination of non-passenger trains?

[@jasonmoffat679]

Why is there a 9 car 802 i thought they were 5 cars

[@TheArkamedBat]

Why was 150255 doing "random" movements on the platforms?

[@StarlifeStudios]

There were swans on the line which blocked the line via Cardiff Airport so in order to run directly to Cardiff Central, 150255 had to negotiate all lines to get onto the mainline. Thanks :)

[@TheArkamedBat]

@@StarlifeStudios The most interesting thing about this was that it was a Headcode 2. Usually, trains changing platforms have a Headcode 5 (from what I get to see on your other videos like Newcastle, Oxford or Kidderminster).

[@StarlifeStudios]

@@TheArkamedBat You are right, some strange things happen when movements are unplanned and it’s easy to get confused. I actually asked the driver what he ran as and he confirmed the 2 headcode!

Hello there GWR & TFW Spotter! 😃

Could we start a series of South Wales and the Great Western mainline?

That is definitely a possibility and I’m hopefully going further West very soon 👍🏻

Can you do some trainspotting at Wimbledon?

[@StarlifeStudios]

Hi South Games, I have considered Wimbledon in the past but the gated fast lines makes it difficult to film this. I would only produce a video here if I was able to gain access to the fast line platforms. Thanks

[@DMVRailfan]

Oh alright. Thanks

[@maimadha]

@@StarlifeStudios Wimbledon is a great station because of the Croydon Tramlink and District Line

It was a great location and I’m glad I got chance to visit 😃

[@fahood350]

hi, can you start making live streams in the future? I would really like to see those, it's like live plane spotting.

[@StarlifeStudios]

My plan is to start Live Streaming soon and I'm hoping to make it as entertaining as possible 😃

[@fahood350]

@@StarlifeStudios i cant wait! update us when you roll it out! you can even make a poll if you want to see the percentage of people interested

[@fahood350]

@@StarlifeStudios also maybe is the far future you might consider 360?

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks for your support Fahad, I am going to need a lot of help to make it work from equipment to locations so I will definitely make sure that happens. To keep it entertaining, I will probably keep live streams to major stations e.g. Birmingham New Street.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Definitely, if it works out well, I have a lot of plans :)

[@TommyTrainspotter47]

Very nice, especially those IETs. (HSTs were actually better and comfy seats unlike these we have today) I really like GWR and I always see those trains. Especially while Trainspotting at Hanwell. Overall very nice video.

[@StarlifeStudios]

As much as I despise the IETs (the HSTs were better) I aim to do a lot more GWML this year and Hanwell and Reading West are both on the list 😃 Thanks!

[@TommyTrainspotter47]

True the HSTs were better and I miss them and Hanwell would be a good station to do a video at. Cool channel.

[@maimadha]
