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 My videos are also designed as a historical reference for the days of the past and to reminisce about the way things were.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

Congrats on your 20K subscribers I am really happy for you 😊

[@ThebusofdoomFSX]

Another great video Starlife! I love seeing the old semaphore signals in action!

[@DC87-c9sb]

Great video as always and a fantastic capture of T&T 20s sounding brilliant as always. Well done 👍

[@Anonymoususer_8823]

I do like Wales with the beautiful scenery and the amazing mountains. I have been to Wales before and it’s such a lovely country to visit.

[@JacobsTrainVideos]

Excellent video Ross!! Some brilliant variety there excellent catch of the 20s going back and forth they sounded brilliant as well as the 175 drag as well!! Some great passes from the class 67s as well!! Congratulations on 20k subscribers!

[@StarlifeStudios]

@@JacobsTrainVideos Thanks Jacob! I was really lucky to see the 20s these are supposed to be used on a rail tour on the heart of wales line sometime in the future. The 175s! Hopefully we’ll see them in use on GWR soon. I’m glad to finally bring the 67s to the channel, you’ll see some more of those soon 😉

Congrats on 20K + stunning location to film at!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Glad you enjoyed it! Always love filming 20s 😃

[@thatuktrainguy]

Nice one, good to see a variety of locomotives. The 20 was a highlight to me. I just came from spotting at Oakleigh Park saw a good few trains especially the 225s it’s a good place for you to film if you want some ECML traffic. Well done on 20K. Thanks for sharing Ross👍

[@theimperialist2686]

Great railway video as always.

[@Verylonelyloconow]

[@Andrewjg_89]

Such a nice a small railway station in Wales. Beautiful scenery as well. Plus congratulations on reaching 20,000 subscribers.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thank you so much 😀

[@merlintransport]

Well done on 20k - here’s to 20 more! Also I liked seeing the semaphore signals doing their thing

[@StarlifeStudios]

I can’t help filming the semaphores! There aren’t many places you can see them now. Thanks for the kind comments, maybe we will hit 100K one day 😉

[@DKS225]

There's not many places where semaphore signals still operate. They're becoming increasingly rare out on the main lines. Fantastic filming as always Ross especially that Chopper Charter. Congratulations on getting 20,000 Subscribers too.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Craig, its always a pleasure to film so semaphores 😃

[@OverSpotterBlackHUS1995]

Nice video! The CAF-Civity trains of British Raiilways Class 196 of West-Midlands-Railways and Class 197 of Transport for Wales are very attractive, cool, delicious, hot and nice.

[@jamesgoodman1733]

class 20 goes ehhhhhhhhhh brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr tttt eeeeeeeee

[@TrainSpotter56]

Great Video.Can you perhaps do the east Anglian Mainline when you can?

[@StarlifeStudios]

I would love to, unfortunately Liverpool Street along with almost all stations to Shenfield (exc. Stratford) are off limits due to the platform barriers which block access to the fast lines. I will attempt to overcome this but it’s extremely difficult to get consistent results with a fence in the way. Thanks for your interest. Which stations do you recommend? 😃

[@TrainSpotter56]

@@StarlifeStudios I was wondering Kelvedon

[@poowee-c2v]

Nice

[@Trainguy001]

Can you do aylesbury next?

[@Joshthetransportfan]

Nice Video Ross! Congrats on 20K bud. question. are you able to do Exmouth for My Friend if thats alright?

[@camotech1314]

Those 197s were shifting through the station 😮

[@StarlifeStudios]

The certainly were! 😃

[@BonnieBlue94]

i was gonna say you forgot the intro also congrats on 20k

[@StarlifeStudios]

The intro is in here 😃 Thanks for your kind comments.

[@BonnieBlue94]

@@StarlifeStudios no problem

[@Jimmynoyeeet]

Can u plz do trains at bletchley

[@StarlifeStudios]

I will be attending Bletchley soon, hopefully at the start of 2025. I have filmed at two stations nearby so you will definitely get the trains your after in one way or another!

[@snocoelevators]

The 20s definitely look like they're trying to be end cab switchers, and they are just as powerful as an EMD SW1001, and have the same wheel arrangement (B-B)

[@StarlifeStudios]

Indeed! The 20s are one of a very small number of single-cab mainline locomotives. Despite being very successful, it hasn't been continued into the modern age except for shunting locos. Thanks for watching 😃

[@PK345Transport]

Nice video will you do Cheddington

[@europeantransportspotting]

Great video lovley station. Can you do Kings Langley and Hadley Wood

[@StarlifeStudios]

Both of those are planned to be visited next year 😃

[@europeantransportspotting]

@@StarlifeStudios Awesome

[@apexqc04]

Well, if that's the only way for a 175 to move without setting fire, then carry on! Do miss those weird looking units with their toy town fronts.

[@YUGGIEANDIRA]

Um 😳 why is it may already look at the title

[@LocoLover2]

Great vid! Why were the 20s there, testing?

[@StarlifeStudios]

@@LocoLover2 the 20s were driver training for an up coming rail tour over the heart of wales line. They were also running the day before I visited. Thanks for your kind comments 🙂

[@LocoLover2]

@@StarlifeStudios ahh that makes sense! No problem, I do love how you put so much effort into your videos, I always enjoy watching them :)
