Trains at Cardiff Central 05/02/2022

[@StarlifeStudios]

What was your favourite train/moment from this video? (Mine was the HSTs from 24:30 onwards!) If you're interested in seeing this station before electrification (2016) check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5jGm2hjbtWerM0 Have a great day everyone 😃

The Great Western Mainline and South Wales Mainline were better without the masts and wires

@@maimadha True. Those new overhead masts do look really horrible.

[@Trainsforlife89]

I love watching older rolling stock getting a new lease of life, such as here with the HSTs, the class 158 sets and other rolling stock. Top notch quality, as always, sir!

What's a sprinter doing going up to Manchester? This doesn't happen regularly 🤔 8:31 My grandad worked on this train a lot, the engine on it right now was put there by him! Also, so glad you visited this station! 😁

Cardiff Central railway station is a major station on the South Wales Main Line, located in the capital of Wales, Cardiff. It is one of the city's two urban rail network hubs, along with Cardiff Queen Street. Opened in 1850 as Cardiff station, it was renamed Cardiff General in 1924, and then Cardiff Central in 1973. The station is located at Central Square, in Cardiff city centre. The Grade II listed building is managed by Transport for Wales Rail and is both the largest and busiest station in Wales. Cardiff Central is one of twenty railway stations in the city and one of two in the city centre, serving as a hub for the Valleys & Cardiff Local Routes. It is an interchange for services between South Wales, West Wales and North Wales, as well as other major British cities. Transport for Wales Rail operates services to most destinations in Wales and to Manchester; while CrossCountry operates trains to Gloucester, Birmingham and Nottingham. Great Western Railway runs all London Paddington intercity services via Bristol and to Swansea, as well as some regional services to Bath, Taunton and Portsmouth via Southampton Central.

Great video as always mate, nice to see 43s out and about with GWR. A few different operators and some freight too.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Inkysquid, I was actually quite suprised at the amount of freight, usually weekdays are the best but you get a fair variety on weekends too! 👍

Amazing Video mate! You're one of the best train youtubers out there, I hope you reach at least 10k subscribers by the end of the summer! Keep up the good work and never give up your doing great mate!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks TrainsatGlasgowCentral, the current prediction is 10K by Christmas which will hopefully be a great surprise 😃 I’m so proud and grateful of your kind comments, I can’t thank you enough ⭐️👍🏻

[@trainsatlondonpaddington9076]

@@StarlifeStudios Hi, your comment made me so happy! How about 20k by Christmas or even 30k by Christmas? I really enjoy watching your videos mate especially the video you made at London Paddington I really enjoyed that one the most! I am a train fan myself and I'm also one of your biggest fans as well. I hope you have a great summer holiday!

Great video mate. A location I would love to go to

[@TrainsAviation]

This guy should have more subsribers. His videos are so good that i could just watch them for hours.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Trains and Aviation. I don't actually worry too much about my subscriber count since I believe that if you make entertaining content, viewers will return even if they don't hit the red button 👍 Thank you though, I really appreciate your kind words and support.

Can you do Trains at Barry Island? Little nice station.

[@trainsatlondonpaddington9076]

**THIS IS A QUESTION FOR StarlifeStudios Rail Videos** How do you know where the trains are coming from? I've always wanted to know how just Incase I go trainspotting in the future!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Hello, I use a mixture of Realtime Trains and Traksy for my information. Realtime Trains is really great for forward planning and Traksy is great to observe whilst your there. Hope this helps. traksy.uk/live

[@Crm_Spotting]

Do you take photos whilst you are spotting, if you do, you should definitely upload them on instagram, you’ll get loads of attention!

[@theimperialist2686]

Nice railway video mate.

[@SamuelIles2015]

Another great video! Is it me or did you have a little play around with a shorter intro on another video?

[@StarlifeStudios]

The shorter intro is the new one, this was a video I’ve actually had rendered and uploaded for several weeks. Some of my viewers still like the older intro (this one) but my KZbin Analytics clearly show that the new one is working much better. Thanks SI Productions 😃

[@alizia6256]

Suggestion: Cardiff Queen Street

[@StarlifeStudios]

Hi Ali, I visited Cardiff Queen Street in December 2020 and with the exception of the pacers, not much has changed since this video. I plan to re-visit when the 150s are being replaced by the 231s and 398s hopefully later this year. Thanks

[@Andrewjg_89]

Will there be plans to electrify to Cardiff Queen Street and north Cardiff area. And electrification to Swansea. As the overhead wires ends just west of Cardiff Central. And with new trains to enter service from next year that TfW have ordered.

[@StarlifeStudios]

I'm not 100% certain of the plans for further electification but I can completely see why those options would be attractive. I must be honest, without at least some of those, electrification of Cardiff Central is a waste and even in this video, almost everything was diesel powered.

[@Andrewjg_89]

True. Totally agree.
