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 My videos are also designed as a historical reference for the days of the past and to reminisce about the way things were.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

[@StarlifeStudios]

This one is a re-visit, check out this station in 2020 here :- kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZ3clXiqmJadmKM Thanks for Watching 😃

[@Shadow_x12]

Your video of Cardiff Queen Street from 2020 was awesome

[@Ro99]

Poor chap at the start missed their train :(

[@kuzatheaviator]

Tbh i think it was a quick wait considering the bay branch is really short

[@Stress-Man]

Well, no luck... What can you do about it.

[@NQY-flyer]

@@kuzatheaviatorindeed it being short imagine a 30 second delay building up to a number of minutes throughout the day a cancellation could ensue

[@kuzatheaviator]

@@NQY-flyer the island line suffers from this kinda problem, a single bad delay causes a knock on effect

[@jjyt5708]

Common thing for the Cardiff Bay shuttle service for people to miss it at last second, but at least they don't have to wait that long for the next one

[@fergus.015]

Great video as always keep up the good work. 👍

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks 👍

[@ENCTrainspotting]

Excellent video as usual👍

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thank you ENC! Hope you're out filming those repainted XC HSTs! 😃

[@jjyt5708]

Good to see you back at De Cymru 💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@mgtrains]

Love the Sprinters

[@mgtrains]

[@Zuuu40]

Another awesome video please keep them coming ross

[@StarlifeStudios]

You know they will be 😃👍🏻

[@oforid2227]

Cardiff Queen Street railway station is a railway station serving the north and east of Central Cardiff, Wales. It is the fourth busiest railway station in Wales. It is located near the major thoroughfare of Queen Street and is one of 20 stations in the city. Along with Cardiff Central, it is one of the two major hubs of the Valleys & Cardiff Local Routes local rail network. The station and its services are run by Transport for Wales. In 2014, a reconstruction of the station was completed in order to reduce bottlenecks. Two extra platforms were put in, taking the total number of platforms to 5.

I love it cardiff trians

[@Sarahbryson321]

I love the 153s Fideo da!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Sprinter Heaven Intercity110! 😂

[@PK345Transport]

Nice

[@Shadow_x12]

Great video.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Josh!

[@Zaporizhziaball12]

Again great video

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks again Europeanball!

[@huddersfieldtrains]

Very nice but 1 coach at 0:25 😂

[@StarlifeStudios]

Sometimes a very full 1 coach too! 😂

[@huddersfieldtrains]

I can imagine 😂

[@Martin_Trainspotter]

Nice video!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Glad you enjoyed it Martin, this one is Sprinter heaven (for now) 😃

[@dc-sc1vm]

The flirts look really nice with a full red front compared to the yellow

[@StarlifeStudios]

It certainly does stand out! These 231s are extremely similar to GAs 745/755 even down to the seat covers! Soon the 150s will be gone too but it certainly is interesting to see how the stock in Wales has changed since I visited in 2020.

[@Andrewjg_89]

Hopefully Cardiff Queen Street will see electrification and new overhead wires erected. As well as new trains to replace the existing trains.

[@JPBX904]

They already do ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Wales_Metro )

[@The_Unknown_Spotter]

Lovely video, what do you use to record your videos?

[@Transpennine]

Could we get Cardiff central video?

[@StarlifeStudios]

Hello Transpennine, I filmed at Cardiff Central in 2022 and I’m not planning to return until 2024 at the earliest. I try to space my videos out in time to make sure I cover something special or different every time. Thanks for your understanding 😃

[@Transpennine]

@@StarlifeStudios ok no problem! I’ll be sure to go and watch it

[@FastlineFilms]

Great video! Your Thumbnails are really good what do you use to make them?

[@StarlifeStudios]

I use Adobe Photoshop to edit my thumbnails. This specific thumbnail was a picture I took outside of the video. Thanks for the question.

[@FastlineFilms]

@@StarlifeStudios Thanks!

[@olivianarmy]

Can you come to swansea?

[@Filip-Trainspotter]

Pls do a Nottingham station next😢 (day 1)

[@StarlifeStudios]

It’s not been filmed yet I’m afraid, I’m currently focusing on CrossCountry HST routes and Nottingham isn’t one of them :( Sorry.

[@otterlyamazing2605]

​@StarlifeStudios I have seen at least 3 XC HST's every day this week 😂 and today I have seen 4. I can't help you with advice or were to spot them at 125mph but them go quick trough Ashchurch and quickish at the Sidings Hotel, York.

[@Filip-Trainspotter]

​@@StarlifeStudiosbut after the CrossCountry can u do EMR

[@transportlegendshorts]

Hello Starlife! When you? coming back to Scotland? Suggestions: Inverness Paisley Gilmour Street Croy/Larbert Dalmuir

[@StarlifeStudios]

Sooner than you think 😃

[@transportlegendshorts]

😃 @@StarlifeStudios

[@ItsLesurex]

Nice video in England

[@andrewbutler6477]

These old sprinter trains are tough old units 35 years old and still in front line service remember queen Street back in the 70/80s run down with the old 116 units the valleys network was so neglected so good to see so much investment on the network 🚆🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@kieranedmunds2936]

I feel bad for the Welsh, TFW put 1-3 carriages on main routes

[@olivianarmy]

How do you get to film these? Do you just ask to go on the platform?

[@JPBX904]

As long as there's no fare gates, you can do whatever you want until security kicks you out.

[@Trains.and-Games._-]

Why didn’t you go to central?

[@StarlifeStudios]

I went to central last year and so far, there hasn’t been much change since then. I try to mix up the stations I go to so I’m not always visiting the same ones every year. I will definitely visit Cardiff Central again, just not this year 😃

[@Trains.and-Games._-]

@@StarlifeStudios There can be some interesting trains at central, I got 2 tones from a HST, I seen 4 of them in 3 hours, the newly named NHS class 801 or 800 there

[@StarlifeStudios]

@Trains.and-Games._- Nice! You can watch my video from last year here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pV7Zm3WmZtyWaa8si=TgNvCNFzKZ1ndOBC

[@ossy123]

First to comment!!!!!

[@trainspottingRailfanGG]

first

[@davidpanton3192]

Simultaneous anouncements at a not very big station must be rather annoying!

[@StarlifeStudios]

The Welsh Government have been insisting on the use of the Welsh language in announcements for years and this means the announcements are sometimes ridiculously long.
