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 My videos are also designed as a historical reference for the days of the past and to reminisce about the way things were.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

Farewell HST's, you've served British Railways better than any train we've had

[@davidpanton3192]

Um, we've still got them in Scotland and there is no sign of them going!

[@BritishTrainspotting]

Are XC HST's gone now?

[@arnoldspottingvideos5269]

@BritishTrainspotting Not yet until tomorrow which will be Farewell tour

[@StarlifeStudios]

We've got a handful of opertunities to still see them but just one more to travel on them. XC's 1E73 is the last PASSENGER run of a full length HST anywhere on the UK Mainline. Theres then a charter to Swanage on the 26th and another to Blackpool on the 29th. After this, its a bit uncertain but the sets will almost certainly be making there way into storage or to the scrap yard.. These are dark days my friends.

What a great place to do train spotting next to the seaside

[@AndrewG1989]

Love to go to Dawlish to see the trains and the sea. Very picturesque town by the sea in South Devon. A good place for train spotting as well when the weather is nice and calm.

[@duainesimpson274]

Amazing! Simply amazing, perfect location! This one has been well anticipated ❤💯

[@Bobbington9]

I was on the sea wall that very day and saw the crosscountry hst at Teignmouth

[@pokefan-ix7sh]

Dawlish railway station is on the Exeter to Plymouth line and serves the town of Dawlish in Devon, England. It is 206 miles 7 chains from London, measured from the zero point at London Paddington via Box. The station is built on the sea wall, as is the railway line, and has often suffered from storm damage due its proximity to the sea. South of the station, the line passes through five tunnels through the cliffs as it follows the coast.

[@Team_e_cola]

Everyone dont go of this video before saying farewell to the xc class 43s they served us well

[@FastlineFilms]

14:08 it's so sad to see that last clip it feels like the end of HST's.

[@girlygal1988lmi]

My favourite trains are avatan west coast south eastern and southern my favourite station is east Croydon and Clacton on sea because it is very fun it has about 200 arcades a pier with rolcoster rides and so many other things thats why I love Clacton on sea

[@kathyroberts3491]

Good video! Can you trainspot at Gordon Hill (ECML) next?

[@StarlifeStudios]

Interesting! Thats not an area I've looked into much but I'm sure I can make it interesting. Thank you Kathy

[@spectrumtrains]

A nice seaside special, great video.

[@StarlifeStudios]

You cant get much more seaside than Dawlish itself! Thanks Spectrum, highly recommend visiting, its quite a busy town and the Black Swans are very interesting too 😃

[@transportlegend.shorts]

Hsts are delightful units! They will be missed!

[@londontransportenthusiast]

Nice one again Starlife!

[@Zuuu40]

Awesome video but you forgot to add the class166 on trains included in the video

[@StarlifeStudios]

You are correct! I will add this shortly 😃 Thanks Zuuu1

[@ENC_Trainspotting]

Great video as always👍

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks again ENC! 😀

[@maimadha]

Great video.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Glad you enjoyed it Madeline

[@DPTrains]

Nice video 👍🏻

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks DP, this one is a bit far from Bonny Scotland, ever been? 😃

[@buzzukfiftythree]

I’ll be sorry to see the HSTs disappear - they’ve served the country very well and are far better than what has replaced them. OK, I guess not so economically viable or environmentally friendly, but still the best for long-distance travel.

[@fayyadguissida]

It's a nice station, and nice video 👍 And One of the most beautiful station in England.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Indeed it is Fayyad! This one has been a long time coming and I just had to visit before the HSTs completely disappeared. Glad you enjoyed.

[@fayyadguissida]

@@StarlifeStudios oh I didn't know about HST It's sad , the HST look so good .

[@Desiro360]

Excellent video and great footage. 😀

[@StarlifeStudios]

Many thanks Desiro 360! 👍

[@windchew767]

Just wondering was there a incident when you filmed this as no one majority of those trains are late. Especially some by over 15 minutes. Was their some kind of incident near exeter or bristol temple meads.

[@StarlifeStudios]

I know there was signalling problems around the Par area (Penzance) on this day but I dont remember there being any others Windchew.

[@arnoldspottingvideos5269]

Good footage Ross. Shame CrossCountry HSTs are leaving 😢

[@AquaFonic]

The franchise is gone completely OCTOBER 15 2023

[@StarlifeStudios]

It is a great shame Arnold. Under different non-COVID circumstances, things could have been different. History will remember this moment and I am fearful that we have made a very bad decision to withdraw them.. time will tell!

[@AVATION_FAN]

Rip HST’s you served britian to the best of your ability😢

[@LGCT]

Goodbye HSTs 😢

[@miahaskurti4539]

Hello Starlife! When Are You Going To Do Your New UK Trains At Speed Video? September Is Normally The Month You Make It

[@StarlifeStudios]

Hello, I haven’t produced one for this year since all three are actually doing really well in recent months! Video making aside, I’ve been working really hard this year and as you’ve noticed, I’m still putting out videos from several months ago and this has allowed me to take a well earned break, thanks for your understanding 👍🏻😃

[@mgtrains]

I miss Cross Country HSTs. 😭

[@krthecarguy5150]

If you go to Mexico somewhere after december you'll see them

[@mgtrains]

@@krthecarguy5150 Oh Ok 👍

[@Electra91]

why this place is so familiar?

[@evertonporter7887]

That's what I was thinking. Then I realised I used to travel on the Virgin Trains service from Birmingham New Street to Paignton on this very scenic route.

[@AquaFonic]

FAREWELL CROSS COUNTRY TRAINS OCTBER 15th 2023 !! Franchise gone

[@StarlifeStudios]
