Locos are 5 digit numbers where the first two numbers are the class of train e.g. 67010 would be a class 67.

➤ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Train_r...
Set Number - e.g. WB64 or NL04 - These are semi-permanent loco hauled coach formations which are kept together for formalities. The first two letters usually indicate the maintenance depot responsible e.g. OC is Old Oak Common, LA is Laira. The number indicates the rake number.
🚄 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 My videos are also designed as a historical reference for the days of the past and to reminisce about the way things were.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.

[@JacobsTrainVideos]

Ahh my lovely and beautifully scenic local station!! Great vairety here and youi have captured it very well with all of our HSTs!!

[@RickyNowis]

Ah, the Cornish boarder and the most southern terminus a few hours away. Very nice to see the HST's still in action (for now anyway)

[@Sophiebryson510]

A lot of HSTs. They’re proper trains, even without the slam doors.

[@ImShabzKnowledgeableAdventures]

A lot of upgradez

[@camotech1314]

Some call them dinosaurs, but they're just speedy and comfy dinosaurs 🦕

[@huddersfieldtrains]

Every upload is consistently good, high quality videos galore! You never fail to disappoint. You must have so many pre-filmed videos judging by the dates aswell

[@iiComment13]

The acceleration on the Intercity Express Train, even without the patogram/electric, is really impressive! (I see these trains all the time and it never doesn't impress)

[@camotech1314]

Yeah they go super fast, breaks can get squeaky though

[@tomcomb8358]

THX STARLIFE FOR THIS VIDEO 😊

[@LordEverythingtrains]

Fantastic video. Last bastion of the HSTs alongside Scotland

[@transportlegend.shorts]

Keep up the good work!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Transport Legend. I will! 👍🏻😃

9:04 Track asmr🔥🔥

[@TheGreatWesternTrainspotter]

Another superb video as always Ross! I travelled on the Duchess of Sutherland down to Plymouth last year which was fantastic and I think this video shows how diverse GWRs fleet is! Amazing video🙂

[@Transpennine]

Great video, Those HSTs are precious!!! When the XC ones get Axed I believe that one should be preserved in the national railway museum. I’m definitely going to be getting some shots of them before they sadly leave on September 18th.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Transpennine, I'm not sure if there are any plans for the XC HSTs, since they are fairly modified (unlike the EMR Powercars). I won't say much but I'll be out on the last day and the charter day. 😃

[@OfficiallyDarik]

Amazing video Starlife, not long until i visit around for a short while, is there anything special or particular interesting to see whilst at Plymouth? :)

[@Del-bm]

Excellent video, brilliant camera skills.

[@luketrainspotteryt2007]

Awesome video mate just noticed this :) and also realised I was on 800306 on the 1515 out of Plymouth that very day and came in on the XC HST that you filmed :)

[@Zuuu40]

Another awesome video please keep them coming

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks! As long as you enjoy them, Ill keep making them 😃

[@duainesimpson274]

Great western railway (GWR) one of my favourite routes in the UK 💯😃

[@martinharry7745]

I love the video in Plymouth and trians as well

[@Footballfnafandmore]

My first vieo i watched was the trains at Glasgow central when i was at my grandma's house and after i got back i west your youtube channel and subscribed and im still subscribed to this day

[@Martin_TrainSpotter]

Great video! There were a lot of HSTs. 👍👍👍

[@StarlifeStudios]

Yes indeed, one of the last HST strongholds! Thanks 👍

[@harry_1527]

excellent video!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thank you very much Harry! I really enjoyed filming this one too 🙂

[@harry_1527]

@@StarlifeStudios your very welcome!. idk if you will see this but may i ask what camera do you use/ whats a good but cheap camera for trainspotting?

[@ejc7129]

Fantastic video 😀👍🏽 3 weeks after this I had a ride down from Bristol to Plymouth (1V50) on XC 43285+43207 - A thoroughly enjoyable trip 😎👍🏽

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks EJC, Got to catch them whilst you still can! 😃

[@user-sg8vm1rr9x]

Hi. Great video. I miss the HSTs. I was wondering what camera you used for the filming?. Many thanks.

[@maimadha]

Could you do Totnes since it's the station before Plymouth?

[@theimperialist2686]

Great railway video mate

[@doisti-kun]

May I ask please what camera do you use? your videos are amazing!

[@StarlifeStudios]

I use a Panasonic HC-VX1.

[@doisti-kun]

@@StarlifeStudios Thank you very much, your videos are really really cool!

[@Bpro9211]

hey starlife you should go to horsham station you get some great trains and several deffiernt routes

[@TheCaterhamBusGuys]

hsts are my fav trains

[@AndrewG1989]

Are CrossCountry getting rid of the Class 43 Mk3 HSTs or are they keeping some of them. And the rest for storage.

[@lktravelsuk]

great vid , what camera do you use

[@beelineenthusiast]

i thought the GWR 43s were retired a few years back

[@officialfoxygaming]

Hi Ross brilliant vid mate. Got a Questions When are the GWR HST come out of service and How many GWR HST are left

[@ENC_Trainspotting]

Excellent video as usual👍

[@ItsLesurex]

I dare all of you to watch a trains at by starlife video at 2x speed very very satisfying

[@lktravelsuk]

What camera do you use

[@StarlifeStudios]

I use a Panasonic HC-VX1.

[@lktravelsuk]

@@StarlifeStudios just vx1 or vxf1

[@StarlifeStudios]

I use a VX1, I believe there isn’t any difference between the two other than software. If your going to buy one, I recommend shopping around since it’s not the best value now. The Sony AX53 is a good option for today.

[@lktravelsuk]

@@StarlifeStudios thanks , I'm just trying to look for one where you can control how fast and slow you zoom.

[@thatlocomotiveguy]

A sight that is sadly no longer seen are XC HSTs.

[@StarlifeStudios]

I’m afraid not. Time was up for them and it will soon be fore the GWR HSTs too.

[@thatlocomotiveguy]

If I remember correctly, the GWR castle sets go in December@@StarlifeStudios

[@StarlifeStudios]

Its a little more complicated than that. GWR's own CEO stated that they will be used until 'at least December 2024' so they could be in service well into 2025 but I'm sure the results will be known closer to the time.

[@maimadha]

@@StarlifeStudios losing the InterCity125 sets is a disgrace and we now have to travel on the dreadfully uncomfortable 800s and 802s

[@benward9191]

Hey Starlife, why is 220018 going to Macclesfield?

[@StarlifeStudios]

This service became delayed en-route to Manchester Piccadilly. It was terminated short at Macclesfield when 30 minutes late and turned back.

[@jameswright7284]

It'll be sad when XC and GW get rid of their HST sets whilst yes they've been working for some 40+ years and have more than earnt a quiet retirement It'll not be the same with 800s and voyagers

[@Filip-Trainspotter]

question 1. will you Still be going to nottingham station. question 2 will the class 810 emr will ne going to Nottingham?

[@Zaporizhziaball12]

nice video

[@pokefan-ix7sh]
