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 My videos are also designed as a historical reference for the days of the past and to reminisce about the way things were.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

29:29 that should've been the thumbnail

[@MohidZ]

My reply or the video?

[@TheBigLemon679]

Another great video! A nice range of trains at Norwood junction :) lots of different southern trains as well express or local

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Rose_Buses! I like the southern network and I don't think it gets enough appreciation. Freight is pretty rare here so it wasn't at all surprising that I didn't see any! 😃

[@PGATProductions]

@@StarlifeStudios you should do more brighton main line videos!

[@srrk2508]

Southern Electrics and Diesels never dissapoints! Southern trains never get old!

[@theimperialist2686]

Great railway video as always, nice range of trains coming in through Norwood.

Norwood Junction railway station is a National Rail station in South Norwood in the London Borough of Croydon, south London and is in Travelcard Zone 4.[5] It is 8 miles 55 chains (13.98 km) down the line from London Bridge. The station is managed by London Overground and trains are operated by London Overground, Thameslink and Southern.

[@robertmansfield2856]

I live just north of Norwood Junction near Goat House Bridge, so ideal for train spotters.

[@sarabjitsingh6824]

I live half a mile from this train station

[@anisocoro]

I am very impressed by the lenght of Thameslink trains: Class 70xxx has got mpre often than not 12 coaches, it is quite unusiual in the Continent, where trains are generally shorter

[@FusionZenFlame]

Very good one this! I'm liking that it is random every time. By that I mean its not on the same line twice (Mostly).

[@StarlifeStudios]

This is what I aim for, if all I put up was West Coast videos, no-one would be interested! Thanks FusionZenFlame 😃

[@MohidZ]

Class 700 passing the station is so satisfying

[@StarlifeStudios]

Clickety Clack 😃

[@BritishTrainsRBX]

I knew it my calculations were correct it is Norwood Junction

[@huddersfieldtrains]

I like a good southern the odd time,there very luxurious inside.Good video at Norwood junction 👍👍

Great work mate!love when some of them make the sparks on the power feed rail

[@benGBRf]

Great video mate. So many busy locations in South London and this is one 👍🏻

[@planeslovergabe19]

Thank you for the video

[@camotech1314]

Those 700s are so long, probably the longest metal centipedes in the UK.

[@John2Ward]

Well, apart from the 373 and 374 Eurostar classes...

[@arnoldspottingvideos5269]

Great video mate. keep it up 👍

[@sirmagnumcat4996]

Good video, I haven’t been on this line before, the only train in this entire video I’ve been in is the 700.

[@maimadha]

Great video.

[@romw9121]

Awesome video! 😃

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks! 😀

[@trainsonthebrain]

Great stuff, might take a trip here myself this week to get some more 700s going at pace!

[@StarlifeStudios]

I got a tad bit of bothering by the staff whilst here so I would go armed with Arriva Rail London website since the staff always ask what your doing www.arrivaraillondon.co.uk/news/filming-on-the-london-overground The last paragraph is like gold dust 😃

[@trainsonthebrain]

@@StarlifeStudios Ah, fantastic! Thank you sir 🤝

[@StarlifeStudios]

@@trainsonthebrain Anything for you! If you listen at 10:55 the staff member is behind me asking which website my evidence is on!!!

[@trainsonthebrain]

@@StarlifeStudios He didn’t even wait for the train to pass. And yet you were totally unflappable in the face of such adversity 💪 😂

[@ItsLesurex]

@@StarlifeStudioswhat station are you planning on doing next?

[@MohidZ]

Plus do next video at Tottenham Hale or Purley Oaks

[@Penhouse9476]

1:56 Thats scary to look at!

[@ttvvideos2050]

I think the best train that goes via there has to be either the 171 or 378

[@FusionZenFlame]

Mine would be 171

[@LilShaqX]

you should do a horn montage compilation.

[@StarlifeStudios]

You know what, thats not a bad idea 😃

[@Mr_SaltyChip]

That's the same spot I filmed my video from

[@timebandit5555]

Just getting round to watching this after a busy couple of days at work. Great viewing as always. Did you find this one of the nicer places to train spot?

[@StarlifeStudios]

No problem at all Flynn. Many thanks for spending some your busy day watching my video 😃. I'll answer that question in two parts; Firstly, it was a gloriously warm day and I was surrounded by trains (whats not to love!). Secondly; the staff bothered my twice during my visit which isn't a problem (I get it a lot) but I've had a much better experience at more rural stations where I can relax. Overall, I would agree with you, I think it is one of the more nicer places I've been. Thanks 😊

[@TheArkamedBat]

@@StarlifeStudios Sadly, London Overground says that you can't film on their stations bc of terrorist threat The station is MANAGED by London Overground

[@StarlifeStudios]

Hmm I’m curious, where did you hear/find out about this? It’s a pretty pathetic excuse from TfL if I’m on honest..

[@TheArkamedBat]

@@StarlifeStudios kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWbWm5hrgbSjm8U I heard that on this video. Open the link and search the appropiate chapter (Told off for filming). Search from 9:40 and look from there

[@Andrewjg_89]

Does Thameslink sometimes stop at Norwood Junction. Or is it mainly Southern and London Overground trains that stop at Norwood Junction. With Thameslink trains passing through. And I do think that Southern should keep the Class 171 Turbostars but to replace the Class 455 used on the suburban services and the Class 313 used on the East Coastway Line and West Coastway Line services.

[@FusionZenFlame]

Only Bedford to Gatwick Airport Thameslink Services stop at Norwood Junction.

[@MohidZ]

@@FusionZenFlame yup it's LS thameslink I think

[@MohidZ]

Southeastern runs on diversion or to go to start a route maybe

[@srrk2508]

Class 171s are Diesel and 313s and 455s are electric... Southern will more likely order a new rolling stock (most likely Desiro City or Aventra trains) to replace Class 313s and 455s

[@PGATProductions]

@@srrk2508 they don’t have any intentions on doing that any time soon

[@pokefan-ix7sh]

double trains 10:49

[@beta.3984]

I don’t understand why they only operate London Bridge to Epsom I don’t get why they can’t continue on to Dorking or Horsham

[@PGATProductions]

there usually isn’t space at the platforms for another service to terminate at dorking. there are currently only 1 train a day in each direction that actually do this.

[@beta.3984]

@@PGATProductions fair enough

[@beta.3984]

@@PGATProductions but instead of running to Epsom they could just go further

[@PGATProductions]

@@beta.3984 it would require extra rolling stock and train drivers

[@benward9191]

Did you see a 700 155 on 9S27?

[@lucastheelectrostar9176]

At 8:22 why is there a 377/5 in the sidings?

[@lucastheelectrostar9176]

The last time I saw one was at Selhurst train wash.

ok

[@joelbordonadablanco1479]

Great video Starlife! Love it as always 👌😎. Are that trains electric? Because I don't see any pantograph on the trains or any cabling sustained by any "arm".... I am confused 😑

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Joel. Fear not, I will provide you with some intel! Most of the south east of England has '3rd rail' powered trains which literally means a third rail adjacent to the running rail powers trains with 750V DC. So you were right, they are still electric! The 700s (and some 378s) are dual powered but thats not very useful without overhead wires 😃
