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 My videos are also designed as a historical reference for the days of the past and to reminisce about the way things were.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

[@StarlifeStudios]

Hello Everyone! My favorite part of this video is the Class 465 Networker at 07:08. Those motor sounds are awesome!

[@LordEverythingtrains]

I live near Grove Park Station where the shuttle to Bromley North runs and it is usually run by 466s (456s right now tho) so I get to hear it all the time and I love it

[@uhegbu]

Rochester Station. I used to travel around south-east London and Kent during the late 1990s/early 2000s. I did board 'The Wandering Javelin' railtour in 2014. It was the second of two services including a brief visit to London's heart, Charing Cross. (I am not referring to the named radio station).

[@h2_tr4ppy]

My favourite is the 395!

2:15 love the 395 face mask livery! I have seen both the face mask and the trainbow livery together at st Pancras! Great video mate!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks for watching! I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Southeastern have done a great job with the mask, oddly, I think it actually suits the Javalin!

Does southeastern high speed trains run all night long on train sim world 3

[@alfredosgaming340]

A great station, and a great vid!

[@zubairmiah8227]

If u think that is a great station then take a look at s.t Pancras international, kings cross and Euston

[@theimperialist2686]

Another great railway video, good range of trains running through.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Hello Imperialist, it’s not every day to you get local, regional and high speed all stopping in the same place let alone at the same station! I’m glad you enjoyed it 😀

[@williamhuang8309]

And some of the 465s had epic old VF drives!

I have watched 4 videos so far and they are the best and most informative rail i have ever seen.Thank you

I love this channel ❤❤❤❤❤

[@sarribel]

The s eastern livery is perfectly beautiful. THX

[@StarlifeStudios]

Which one do you prefer Mikel? The Class 465 livery or the High Speed Blue livery? I like the Javalin Blue Livery myself 😀

[@williamhuang8309]

5:01 ThamesLink train sounds like the siren in the background.

[@Trainspotter11_]

Brilliant video! I really enjoyed this :)

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Trainspotter11, I hope it lived up to your expectations 😃

[@arnoldspottingvideos5269]

Great video. Nice to see 465s doing the Gillingham run 👍. Can you do trains at Dorridge on the CML.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Oh and don't those 465/9s sound so damn good 😍 07:09. Dorridge, I wasn't expecting that as a suggestion from you - I'll see if I can do it early 2021.

[@arnoldspottingvideos5269]

@@StarlifeStudios they sound like 365s a bit

[@arsenalfantv1001]

Wasnt expecting the 'this station will be coming as a DLC to the Southeastern High speed route for TSW2' in the description great video btw also could you go to Crawley Three Bridges or Horsham

[@StarlifeStudios]

Hi Arsenal Fan TV, I only learned about that DLC a few days ago but it will be interesting to see if they get the station and the 395s accurate. Thanks for watching!

[@rail3288]

@@StarlifeStudios I can tell they didn’t do a good job at sittingbourne, so first where did those buildings come from!? second the platform is too high...

[@DKFG1990]

Odd, as the developers of TSW are literally based a half hour walk from Rochester and would have done better with stations that are basically on there doorstep like Sittingbourne is.

[@garden-Railway]

Great video, 12 cars only just fit.

[@JohnTaylorMusicClips53]

Love the alarm on those Class 465s when they set off, think the 365s have the same one.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Yep! So do I. The Class 365s barely get used now as most of their core services are now Class 700s. I will try and get some morning 365s in an upcoming video :)

[@johnkent-thanet-uk]

Excellent compilation of SE trains passing through Rochester Station. How about HS1 (Javelin) and Eurostar passing over the Medway Viaduct at speed? The sight and sound is awesome.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Covelord. I really like this station, great variation and frequency of trains. I have thought about the Medway Viaduct recently. My problem is the services. I'm not 100% sure how frequent trains run and how long I'd have to spend there to get a 10+ Minute video. Thanks for the suggestion though, HS1 is really something that I find interesting :)

[@johnkent-thanet-uk]

@@StarlifeStudios Times are variable just now due in part to covid of course. The Margate to STP (via Ashford) has been two an hour for the most part, plus the Dover via Ashford to STP (not sure on timings) with Eurostars in between. However, that said I'm aware Eurostar services have been reduced. The summer months will undoubtedly be the most ideal and parking close by about a 150yd walk to lineside.

[@permiantheropod5163]

Those 375s need a wash but some are cleaned

[@Trainsforlife89]

Good evening, good sir. First of all, allow me to compliment you on your top trainspotting quality and filming, quite steady, good scene selection, Goodness me you are not shaking like crazy or just care for some tones like others do. Everything looks great. Oh, my beloved Javelins are aging well and the ''masked'' unit is a really smart looking one. This video reminded me of my time there in the Uk as a History Masters student in 2015-2016 and my wonderful journeys and trainspotting action with SouthEastern, despite it being called as the ''crap of train operators'' by my British flatmates, haha.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Hi Panos, please accept my apology for responding to your comment so late. I honestly just didn't see it! I really appreciate your kind words. I put a lot of effort into making sure that my content is of high quality and with the minimal amount of shaking, although, this is often inevitable when videoing at full zoom (better shown on some of my other videos). I also play very close attention to the sound of my videos and it is often more important than video! I don't tend to visit Kent much on my travels so I made sure that I could get a bunch of different areas (such as London Victoria) during this trip. Thanks for showing so much interest (and subscribing 😀) it really is appreciated. Its people like you that keep me motivated! Thank You.

[@Trainsforlife89]

@@StarlifeStudios Ah, it is always the common passion for trains and trainspotting and supporting a fellow enthusiast who does such a high quality effort...alas, we would lose half the magic if it weren't for sharing our work and getting informed about trains while admiring each others' work. I will definitely watch more of your videos. Miss the UK and its trains, i will definitely visit again for some trainspotting action.

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

2:18 that 395 is wearing a face mask

7:05 When you're not sure what VF Drive that train has but then you hear the epic old VFD

Do trains at London fenchurch street

[@StarlifeStudios]

Hi Craigy, I'd like to do Fenchurch (and C2C in general) at some point next year. Great suggestion!

[@Andrewjg_89]

What is happening to the old site of where Rochester station used to be. Will it become sidings or is it used for Network Rail track maintenance vehicles. With the remains of the old Rochester platforms still exists. The new Rochester station is very modern and the platforms are bit longer. And that face mask livery on the Class 395 “395002” Javelin train is amazing.

[@haydonsheard2168]

One platform is used for the trains stoping at platform 3 at Rochester (new) sometimes on weekends both are used to store Thameslink trains.

[@redcomic619]

Where in Rochester is this? Looks way more modern than the Amtrak station.

[@LordEverythingtrains]

It is in Kent south east of London and it was modernised a few years back so that is why

[@redcomic619]

Lord Everything I see. So this isn’t Rochester, New York.

[@LordEverythingtrains]

@@redcomic619 yeah this is Rochester UK.

Thameslink goes to Rochester?

Southeastern have got a brilliant livery it’s suck a shame that they are the dirtiest trains on the network inside and out

I quite like the Class 700s tbh. I have no problem with them. And I also like the with the Class 375, Class 376, Class 377/5, Class 395, Class 465 and Class 466.
