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

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 My videos are also designed as a historical reference for the days of the past and to reminisce about the way things were.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

Many thanks everyone for your co-operation with last sundays video delay. Enjoy the video (and YES there IS another one this Sunday!) 😃

The pendolinos tilting out from under the flyover has to be one of the best shots of trains in UK for me, great video over all!

[@RickyNowis]

Outstanding footage and a lot of variety you spotted as well. Some nostalgia, modern and the newest all still going strong. Some interesting news about the West Coast Mainline, InterCity Trains are looking to work alongside Avanti West Coast to run additional services in and out of London Euston prior for the Queens funeral.

Some of the components for the early 85 or 86 class of Electric locomotives were made in the Works alongside the station

[@Lucky-om6jm]

I know that because I worked there. When we had a batch ready for dispatch,we would notify British Railways, and a quality control would visit us. We would have the consignment of boxes on a bench. The BR inspector would then choose at random one of the items to inspect. Than when he was satisfied. He would sign off acceptance for the consignment. The. Items were mostly the buttons and switches on the driver’s. Cab control desk

What was the Transpenine 68/MK5's doing at Rugby?

[@StarlifeStudios]

I believe that TPE Mk5 set was being sent for reliability modifications. I'm not exactly sure of what that entails but they were fairly regular during April. Thanks for watching MrGriser.

[@joelbordonadablanco1479]

Very nice video!! Specially the first train, seems very important. I'm curious of something: If we suppose that the all the UK lines were electrified, will class 42 and HST dissapear? Because it won't make sense to still have them, as they are diesel trains; but in the other hand, it will get a lot of people mad because of the value of it. What do you think?

[@StarlifeStudios]

Hey Joel, I'm really glad you've given my video a slice of your attention this week. There is a lot of passion and emotion with the High Speed Trains and as the first 125MPH capable trains (even electric weren't this fast), I agree with you however, about enthusiasts being upset. If all railways were electrified, I would imagine a similar system to mainland europe would apply where diesel/battery locos are used in depots for freight and all movements on mainlines are electric. Thanks for watching 😃

[@reggiesmith3866]

On Monday 23rd August 1982 I was on Rugby Midland Station betrween 9-40 am and 11-30am and during that time I saw 22 electric locos either hauling trains or standing idle. The only diesels seen were 46017 which brought 3 concrete wagons from the south and shunter 08667. I cannot for the life of me understand why NOW so much of the freight traffic has reverted to diesel haulage.

[@Sophiebryson510]

@@reggiesmith3866 the 66s are ‘more efficient’ or ‘more profitable’ or some rubbish like that

[@reggiesmith3866]

@@Sophiebryson510 I honestly cant remember saying anything like that. What I do criticise is the use of diesels including 66s on fully electrified lines to pull freight that until a few years ago was hauled by electric locos.

[@Lucky-om6jm]

Technical question please? Was there some degree of coordination and cooperation between the likes of BTH and English Electric and Metro Vick on the switches and instruments in the cab?

[@lovefive5733]

An excellent video. Hoping alls good with you

All is well, I'm actually finding it rather difficult to balance my time between my full time job and KZbin (filming and editing). Who would have thought that it requires a lot of time investment? 😃

[@Lucky-om6jm]

Stopping for some reason Could be lots of reasons Maybe to disembark passengers or take on board new passengers Maybe to take on more supplies of champagne

Maybe to collect a Red Star 🌟 parcel

Do a million people pass through Rugby every day?
