Trains at Reading (GWML) 15/12/2021

[@StarlifeStudios]

What are your thoughts of the 800/802s? Love or Hate? Thanks for watching and have a great Easter!! 🐰🐣

[@transitcaptain]

I go against the flow and kind of like them, but as an American who has never gone to the UK and thus never rode these trains, so my opinion is based off of train reviews, Wikipedia articles, and descriptions. Though when I come to the UK I might take one of these trains to Oxford and I’ll find out for sure. I might also like them because they look nice

[@sirmagnumcat4996]

They’re alright visually. Internally they are worse than my food waste bin.

[@AutisticGamer_123comingback]

800s and 802s look awesome!

[@romw9121]

1 reason that I don’t like: The diesel engine that turned on/off with the shaking seats inside the Hitachi IETs

[@thameslinktravels7697]

I’d say that they’re nice trains - I actually find the seats on they gwr sets quite comfy - It’s just a shame that they are limited to 125mph when they are capable of 140

[@duainesimpson274]

Love what they’ve done to Reading! The station and building looks phenomenal! Specially those new overhead wires. Another awesome vid! Thanks for posting up! Great work 💯💯💯💯

[@thameslinktravels7697]

Yay - I’ve been waiting for this one!! One of my fav stations!! Great video!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it Thameslink Travels 😃

[@davesrailwayadventures1897]

Reading my hometown station! - absolutely love the station since the rebuild! Many thanks for making the trip to bring us this excellent video!

[@timebandit5555]

Love this! Finally back on the GWR. Hope you had the best day

[@KJLovesRoblox]

OMG I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE GWR MAINLINE FOR SO LONG

[@transitcaptain]

AWESOME! It’s about time we get to watch Reading.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Absolutely! A lot has changed since I was here in 2015! 😂

[@theimperialist2686]

Excellent railway video as always mate.

[@AliouneUK]

That was a perfect video and my favourite part which was the class 802 leaving with two horns Love Reading so much and happy to live in Reading!🥰

[@pat_ross55]

I wonder what that little red splatter was on 800 309 🐦🐦🐦

[@pokefan-ix7sh]

Reading railway station is a major transport hub in Reading, Berkshire, England. It is on the northern edge of the town centre, near the main retail and commercial areas and the River Thames, 36 miles (58 km) from London Paddington. Reading is the ninth-busiest station in the UK outside London, and the second busiest interchange station outside London, with over 3.8 million passengers changing trains at the station annually. The station is managed by Network Rail and is served by four train operating companies: Great Western Railway, CrossCountry, TfL Rail and South Western Railway.

[@andrewmelbournetransport]

That was a cute little horn from the 387 😊

[@romw9121]

Awesome video and I hope you had a great Easter bank holiday tomorrow!

[@Bozololz]

Very nice video! hope to see more mainline videos :)

[@benGBRf]

Certainly a busy location. Plenty of freight as well. Nice video 👍🏻

[@StarlifeStudios]

Certainly is Ben! I enjoyed filming here 🙂

[@ejc7129]

Excellent filming at what is now a very busy location 😎👍🏽👀

[@StarlifeStudios]

I'm surprised at how many 5-car units on long-distance trains are running around. Oh how I miss HSTs :(

[@z-ulu6657]

@@StarlifeStudios GWR ordered too many 5 cars

[@ejc7129]

@@StarlifeStudios yes I think most people miss the HST’s 😟 It was always daft building different size inter-city fleets..only the DfT that claim to run but really know nothing about our railways, could come up with a solution like that - The IEP project 🙄🤡 Factor in that some units have been out of service for a while now with these cracks (e.g. 800026) plus the extra time taken each day to check these cracks on all the units and quite often long distance GWR services are left short formed 🤔 The sterile office style interior and rock hard seats was also the genius work of the DfT 🙄🤡 I’d possibly like these AT300 units more if they were fitted with a better interior, more comfortable seats and they were all 9 coach units, so you were never left shoe-horned into a full and standing 5 car set 😟

[@RailwayVideos.]

Great video and nice departure time at 14:16

[@PanzerFalcon2232]

I like the GWR livery

[@Themarmaliser]

Reading is a fantastic station! I passed there on my way to Paddington and i did see some nice SWR and GWR trains!

[@joecrammond6221]

greetings from a new subscriber, love train videos from various stations, Reading is certainly a big one, visited Reading just the other week, nice place for photos

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks for stopping by and supporting me Joe. I liked this station and despite the dull winter weather, it proved to be good for variety. I’m glad you enjoyed 😃

[@lbautosandrails]

Very nice video at Reading! 👍

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thank you 😃

[@lbautosandrails]

@@StarlifeStudios No problem!

[@OllieMJT27]

lovely weather ain't it

[@TheArkamedBat]

Yep. Typical from Britain

[@Cheddarxyz]

Class 165/1 is only 3 carriage set. Class 165/0 is the 3 carriage set here.

[@Zuuu40]

great video

[@KJLovesRoblox]

The Reading Green Park is being build

[@StarlifeStudios]

Ill be there when it opens dont you worry :)

[@KJLovesRoblox]

Ok 😀 👷‍♂️

[@westgate9696]

How about a look from the end of platform 2 at Stockport looking towards Manchester? - Would get great view of trains coming straight at you over the viaduct,quite a few freight trains,lots of Pendalinos,voyagers, trains going all over country from here

[@StarlifeStudios]

I will certainly look into that Westgate9, it sounds awesome! 😃

[@z3ficcial596]

Awesome compilation! Best regards from Croatia.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks for all your recent comments Martin, your support is much appreciated! 😃 Kind regards from your friends in the UK! 🇬🇧

[@AutisticGamer_123comingback]

I live close to Reading!

[@TheArkamedBat]

What is the meaning of the triangles at the middle of the platform? (near the lift)

[@franzliszt9303]

when you binge watch trains at reading but you don't even live in the UK: ;-; i wish i lived there

[@Andrewjg_89]

I like what Reading railway station looks like to how it was before the upgrade. And maybe GWR could inherit the other 3 Class 387/3s from c2c to be used on Reading-Newbury shuttle. And the Class 769 should be in service to be used on Reading-Gatwick Airport & Redhill.

[@smokeybird1041]

1:32 u can see a SWR rain I never knew they went there

[@Cheddarxyz]

Well, Reading should be in the west of the country. It's called South *Western* Railway which runs in the south & west of the country.

[@robtyman4281]

Yea, SWR operate a service from London Waterloo to Reading via CJ, Richmond, Twickenham, Ascot, and Bracknell.

[@UKImmigrationLawGeek]

I have just started to film trains. In fact, some of my stuff is filmed in Reading. I am just looking at channels so I can learn the best means by which to film. Thank you.

[@StarlifeStudios]

You've got some excellent stations in Reading. I recommend both Tilehurst and Reading West for freight especially on weekdays. If I can give you one little tip for videos its this: Don't ignore audio, bad sound such as wind or poor quality will put your viewer off more than bad video. Do your research and find what works best for you. Have fun 😃

[@trainspotting_by_nico8447]

Very beatiful video! Greetings from Italy

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thank you very much Nico! 🇮🇹 🇬🇧

[@cameronallan5624]

If the lighting was replaced and the seats replaced on a class 800 in my view they could become really good trains. Still nothing beats the FLIRTS though.

[@KJLovesRoblox]

Idk what itll operate

[@thameslinktravels7697]

Why do the 800 family make those clicking sounds on the doors whilst that depart - I heard the same sounds on LNER sets too

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks BPL_North :)

[@jamesburnside3023]

A fine job done, great video indeed.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Many thanks James! 😃

[@theothetrainspotter]

I think you should do trains at Bury St Edmunds. I love your videos

[@LondonBusFan73]

Nice video! I need to do some GWR , what stations do i you recommend?

[@StarlifeStudios]

Depends how far-a-field you want to go - Paddington and Bristol Temple Meads are great for terminating trains; Reading, Newport and Exeter are all great for variety. If you go further, Plymouth and Dawlish are nice. Have fun 😃

[@LondonBusFan73]

@@StarlifeStudios thank you!

[@MeerkatGaming]

How do you know if a freight train or any train is early/late?

[@channelnotinuse4078]

Nice

[@channelnotinuse4078]

Where is your next station

[@smudgycat6750]

I think you got your west and east mixed up

[@sylviaelse5086]

How does a stopping service to Reading manage to be 4 minutes early?

[@willgoodfellowmusic9272]

How do you know where all the trains are going? Do you use a tracking app/website. I would love to know what it is as I'm a bit of a train geek!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Hello Will, I use a website called realtimetrains.co.uk. This allows you to obtain details of the train, its origin and destination. All it takes then is to line up what you saw and which service it was running. Hope this helps!

[@edwardlawt0n]

how do you know what the headcode is?

[@BritishTrainsRBX]

Reading Station let's go

[@openbabel]

Many complains have been made to GWR through the h & s and customer focus at the slow rate of change for disability customers. As an example the internal layouts on the Paddington to Hereford train remains unchanged after been told they must change the internal layouts for disabled people.This includes... Clear labelling to stop NON DISABLED PASSENGERS sitting in disabled seats leading to delays. Black and Grey check colouring of disabled seats. Disabled seats are those immediately inside the carriage entrance. GWR need to remove any seats for the disabled bizzarlely further inside carriages. GWR also must apply common sense to layouts. Disabled seats MUST be placed near to disabled toilets not in different parts of the train. It is not clear how a blind person would ever find a toilet several cars away down a long train. Disabled seats cannot be booked as legislation require tem to be available for a severely disabled person at all times through railway personel. The operating companies are fully responsible for these failed layout decisions. It would appear that common sense is not that common in the supply chain.
