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 My videos are also designed as a historical reference for the days of the past and to reminisce about the way things were.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

Which Train from this video is your favourite? Thanks for watching all 😃

[@BritishTrainsRBX]

Let's just say every train from this video is my favourite 😍

[@TransportStuff377]

Either the 73, 455 or 450

[@maimadha]

All the trains in the video were my favourite

[@robertmwa4204]

378, 700, 390, 360, 345, 377, 165, 168, 170, 185, 376 and *more*

[@gbtrainspotting2084]

If I had to guess it would probably be the one from Kensington Olympia yard (0Z15) it’s because I never saw that type of train before and that it stopped at the station do you have any idea why it stopped?

[@LordEverythingtrains]

When part one is already 43 mins long you know its gonna be good

[@StarlifeStudios]

Oh yes! Still not a single 701 in traffic but you can see one in Clapham Yard in some shots. I never thought to this day that they wouldn’t yet be in service..

[@maimadha]

@@StarlifeStudios it's taking ages for the 701s to enter service

[@fatihburek]

@@maimadha and i personally think thats good because the seats dont look comfortable and as much as i hate the 458/0 front the 701s front is worse

[@gbtrainspotting2084]

@@fatihburek I do agree with that

[@lanchester101]

@@StarlifeStudios there's some in Feltham Yard siding that hasn't moved for a while

[@declanthomas1996]

I’ve spent most of my life at Clapham Junction it’s such a good station

[@jay_mond0]

You can't even film 'where are we today?' without a train passing! That's how busy CLJ is these days!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Such a fantastic station 😃

[@midnightwolf5256]

Been to Clapham Junction many times .. its extremely busy with trains and passengers at peak in the summer and also a great trainspotting area.. as this shows

[@stephenduncan3605]

Amazing that every single train from London Waterloo mainline station (the busiest in the whole UK) passes through here plus two thirds of the trains from London Victoria mainline along with several Overground trains as well!

[@henreereeman8529]

Incredible video, this must have been really difficult to make, hats off!!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Henree, it was certainly challenging but I'm really happy with the finished product. Part 2 is a little more predicable but I had to go before the Southern 455s were scrapped!

[@171trains]

Cool video, nice catches of the 66 and 73, never seen that movement before. Still afore those 455 workhorses

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Tiger Trainz, It was interesting to me as well since it was a Colas driver/movement with a GBRf 73. I assume this is a driver training run or something. Those 455s are certainly well travelled, still excellent metro trains with well-regarded interiors.

[@171trains]

@@StarlifeStudios ah yes, Colas run most of the GBRf 73s on driver training and PLPR services

[@DPTrains]

Ooo multiple parts, very cool, must’ve been fun editing all these 😂

[@StarlifeStudios]

I had to split this video otherwise I would have been hours long! There were over 100 individual workings just in this video alone 😂

[@officialfoxygaming]

Nice to see more then just Southern Trains

[@maz1699]

My favourite station in the UK, and this showcase (and part 2 when it’s out), really show off the expansiveness of a station connecting so many networks!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Maz, I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Clapham Junction required two videos due to the mass amount of trains! Part 2 should be out very soon 😃

[@MohidZ]

Mine too

[@davidpanton3192]

Well done for identifying all those trains at this famously busy spot. Apart from its busyness all I know about Clapham Junction is that it's not in Clapham.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Yep! It’s actually in Battersea. Although I make it look easy, there is a deceiving amount of preparation before and during filming. I am always preparing for the next train to come into view and there are a lot of cases in this video where it works well (and not!). Thanks David 😃👍🏻

[@XxBec3509]

Great video. Love the 73

[@TheCaterhamBusGuys]

it’s crazy to think how this is the busiest station in the UK, yet somehow some SWR trains still pass through

[@MohidZ]

My fav station in the UK thx

[@StarlifeStudios]

Always a pleasure MohidYT 😃

[@joelbordonadablanco1479]

I wonder which way you have to make it look so smooth. When I try to make trainspotting I always hear my hands touching my Microphone. By the way, AMAZING video!!

[@lanchester101]

I know that feeling. I did one using my phone and not forgetting that my finger goes over the camera. Ruins some clips

[@joelbordonadablanco1479]

@@lanchester101 Yeah, specially the good ones (rare trains and rare stuff)

[@fergus.015]

Great video as always.👍👌

[@elnido4184]

Those class 455s with the odd 507 or 508 coach that make up the units definitely need to go. Not sure what the fans like more (707s or 701s

[@leocat6282]

I do really like the first swr train

[@stephenduncan3605]

Seems that on the Windsor and Eton Riverside line anything goes!

I’m going on the South western railway on 19.12.2022 to Petersfield at Clapham junction.

[@theimperialist2686]

Great railway video mate

[@BritishTrainsRBX]

Clapham Junction is like the busiest through station in the UK there's just trains everywhere

[@TheArkamedBat]

It's full even on a strike day.

[@AdamsTrains]

Hi there. Just wanted to ask you where you recommend trainspotting in London; I’m looking at stations where FAST trains run past and/or a variety TOC’s. Great video btw 👍!

[@maimadha]

Great video

[@benGBRf]

Great video. Couple of mine in there 😉 I'm surprised you didn't just keep the record button on and just turn the camera as its so busy haha

[@StarlifeStudios]

I could have! There wasn’t much space between trains. Always a pleasure to provide :)

[@AmardKodra]

[@Andrewjg_89]

Still when is South Western Railway going to start allowing the Class 701 Arterios that would of been in service this summer. Clapham Junction is a great station.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Who knows? Some 701s have been accepted for use but I don’t think any driver training has begun so it won’t be until at least December that they enter traffic.

[@Andrewjg_89]

Right. At least that’s some good news about the Class 701s to start service in December. 👍

[@class3312]

Nice

[@JacobsTrainVideos]

20:55 good to see a nice driver usually you dont see these in the city as they are too busy with their head down trying to spend as little time stationary as possible, also did you need any kind of permission to film there?

[@trainspotter387]

28:48 NO WAY I WAS ON THAT TRAIN

[@LocoLover2]

Great video though!

[@LondonBusesForReviews]

Fun Fact: Alot of Hampton Court trains come from the Epsom Line

[@jameswright7284]

Not seen the whole vid yet but assuming Part 1 is the SWR side of Clapham with Part 2 being the Southern side of the station

[@StarlifeStudios]

Spot on James!

[@LocoLover2]

Does anyone have any idea when the 455s are going for scrap, I rlly wanna see a 37 hauling one thanks

[@StarlifeStudios]

Its a big fleet of over 80 units and with a best case average of 1 unit swapped with a 701 per week (assuming they start replacing ASAP), they are likely to be completely replaced by December 2025. You should have plenty of time to see one. 😃

[@LocoLover2]

@@StarlifeStudios thanks!

[@bikerpeavey]

Great vid . Must get there this year. Are the staff friendly ?

[@StarlifeStudios]

Yes! 😃

Hey Ross, did you see a 444019 + 444040 on 1B24?

[@НикитаГромов-ф9у]

Меня привлекает эта оквадраченная форма электричек, больше склоняет к метро. Почему поезда питаются от контактного рельса, а не от верхних проводов как в привычной железной дороге?

[@StarlifeStudios]

That sounds about right, today there is planned to be 2101 departures.

[@denbaker7358]

@@StarlifeStudios yikes that's impressive sounds like a train spotters paradise nearly every class must stop there

[@davidrobertson8573]

Why did the 9:30 freight train stop

[@bobsteryt]

Could be for a driver change over, or maybe there's a red signal ahead

[@trainspotter387]

28:46 The Class 707s have to go they need to get replaced by the the class 701s

[@PotatoLemons1]

New trains at speed today?

Will part 2 be next week?

[@maimadha]

Yes part 2 will be next week

Part 2 will be released next week featuring platforms 11-17. If you’ve noticed the date as well, this also happened to be the last weekday of 455 use 😉

SouthWestRailway trains have this thing were they have lots of branches leading to certain areas around west London and also because they meet different trains such as cross country and GWR

[@oscarslifeoftrainsplanes1373]
