Trains at Stratford International (HS1) 03/08/2022

[@faizul_thetrainspotter125]

Awesome shots! Thank you for sharing!🙌💫

[@StarlifeStudios]

No problem, I'm really glad you enjoyed this weeks video. 😃 I certainly felt great after filming this one. Some of the fastest trains I've ever recorded.

[@Whistleboard]

Is it ok if you make a trains at Ebsfleet International video if that’s ok

Really nice video and catches!! Recording trains at Stratford International seems like a fun place to do it! I love the class 373 and class 374!

[@dct1]

Can't get over the gradients here! Fantastic video👍🏻

[@StarlifeStudios]

The gradients are amazing, one of the steepest on the entire network! 😃

[@joelbordonadablanco1479]

It's so cool how the station combines so well high speed spotting and "normal" train spotting. And it's way better in 4K!! :D

[@StarlifeStudios]

I agree Joel, its a nice combination! The Eurostars in this video were some of the fastest trains I have ever filmed.. although its not the fastest I've filmed since 😃

[@granthardy3550]

The Waverley Station in Edinburgh is a personal favourite of mine, even if I'm not catching a train I like to just walk through it. I think I read somewhere it has the worst air quality in Edinburgh but I love the place.❤

[@lechiffre1914]

Why aren't the stations at Stratford, Ebbsfleet, and Ashford, all simply renamed 'HS1' or 'High Speed' after their first names? None of them provide continental travel now.

[@WaschiXtreme]

Amazing video, btw I was there from 14:10 - 14:20 on the same day, I think I saw you! great vids btw

[@StarlifeStudios]

I had to do a fair bit of walking to get these shots so I'm sure you did! (you should have come up and had a chat) Thanks for the kind comments 👍

[@WaschiXtreme]

@@StarlifeStudios yh, I wasn't 100% sure it was you but now that I saw me in your vid I went back through my footage and found you (im the guy at the front at about 10:50 in your vid)

[@WaschiXtreme]

You might remember me asking wich camcorder you would recommend a while back, just out of curiosity wich one are you using at the moment?

[@StarlifeStudios]

Hello, I currently use a Panasonic HC VX1.

[@Rheilffordd]

KZbin just recommended me this video. I've never been to your channel.... I greatly enjoyed this video, went through your others, and like what you've done and produced... also like your effort with thumbnails too. Subscribed!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Rheilffordd, glad you have you along for the journey, KZbin obviously knew you'd enjoy! As you said, I put a lot of effort into my videos and I'm really happy that you recognise that. I try not to overproduce my thumbnails but a lovely bright thumbnail that 'pops' helps to draw the eye. 😃

[@iiExplosionz12]

Excellent made video there bud! Gotta love the 373s speeding past before they go out of service soon...

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Explosionz, Are there plans to withdrawn the 373s? They're the most reliable of the entire Eurostar fleet!

[@iiExplosionz12]

@@StarlifeStudios Exactly! I hope they do not, especially for some of the remaining 373s have been refurbished. But from what I know is that the 374s are more reliable to run their services, whereas the 373s are too expensive to maintain. Not to mention that these units are originally built to run with the 3rd rail, along with the overhead current collection. It would definitely be a shame to see them go for sure...

[@georgedeane2564]

You've really nailed that Eurostar shot

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks George, I am really proud of it 😃 This station is actually a bit of a challenge to video at since the track rises and dives at both ends!

[@georgedeane2564]

@@StarlifeStudios I think the rise makes the train look so much cooler! I commute into London via KGX and now I'm going to have to go and sit at Stratford for a while and watch the trains fly by!

Nice Video mate. The class 373 is probably my fav train in this video. Its shame that most of them are gone :( 6:09 11:05

[@StarlifeStudios]

Hi Confused Oxygen, I've actually been to Church Fenton last year, you can watch here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmXKqJqYebGpq9E

[@ConfusedOxygen]

@@StarlifeStudios awesome! Got any plans on going again after they complete the electrification?

[@StarlifeStudios]

I hope to but it will depend on whether the stock will change or I can include some diversions, I try not to repeat the same videos too closely. I’ll have to keep an eye on it.

[@ConfusedOxygen]

@@StarlifeStudios good to know! if you do know of any diversions can you maybe respond to this comment or something as I’d be interested in going?

[@StarlifeStudios]

I’ll keep my ear to the ground about it but it’s normally weekends with Grand Central and LNER being the obvious two affected. I can’t see anything planned within the next two months but they’ve appeared later than normal recently.

[@mohammed_the_train_spotter]

My favorite KZbinr posted a new vid!!!!!!!

[@justachillguy-p9h]

A suggestion for a video: you should go to Manors station, Newcastle upon Tyne, you get a lot of trains going through to Newcastle Central (When I was there today, I was waving at an lner driver and he gave me a honk and a wave!)

[@StarlifeStudios]

Manors, yes! I will definitely do this in 2023 and maybe plan to catch some freight and HSTs too 😃

[@justachillguy-p9h]

@@StarlifeStudios Maybe some HSTs, I haven't seen many go around Newcastle though, but you might see freight trains, I am excited for the video!

[@ThePennineWanderer]

Great video there of HS1! I still need to get myself down to stratford to see the 373s fly through before they are gone! Amazing video as always 🎉🎉👍😊

[@StarlifeStudios]

Highly recommend it Pennine Wanderer, the 395s are really regular too so it’s ideal to travel to/from London. I haven’t heard anything about these 373s going just yet but with a lot of small fleets basically ear marked for withdrawal next year (91s). It wouldn’t surprise me.

[@ThePennineWanderer]

@@StarlifeStudios Yeah, the 91s are said to be going next year but thatll be a bit surprising considering they have only just been liveried.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Nothing confirmed fully yet on the 91s but LNER have been avoiding expensive exams for the locos for a few months. I wouldn’t expect these reports to be wrong.. they haven’t been in the past.

[@ThePennineWanderer]

@@StarlifeStudios I spoke to a driver in around july and he said they were here to stay for a couple more years but I dont know wheather that was true but I am hoping that they are! I dont think they will keep them for much longer though.

I’m a big fan of all the high speed trains used on this route although the 395s are a little forgotten because other Hitachi units have become more common. Thanks though 🙂

[@juanangos2098]

Good vídeo I like TRAINS ☺

[@trraynsportss375]

Very good video man, I was wondering aren’t there sometimes some direct Southeastern services that blast past Stratford or do they all stop there?

[@bobsteryt]

To my knowledge they always stop there

[@Brandonwillson3]

in 2019 a few service used to go through in the mornings depending on which service if running

[@SamuelIles2015]

There are very few that pass through. If they pass through then it’s normally an ECS to Ashford or somewhere else

[@171trains]

All southeastern services stop at Stratford, just ECSs that don't

[@Pixel_pixie963]

6:17 - What was that on the side of the train?

[@fphtrains]

Great Video as always, Is there anyway of knowing if it is a 373 or 374 before it passes?

[@StarlifeStudios]

I don't believe so, there tend to be a few common runs like 9031 and 9036 but it can be really random since both 374 and 373 can work in place of each other. There was an interesting method I was told a few years ago but I'm not sure if it works: If you check the Eurostar website and the train hasn't got WiFi - its a 373 - try at risk though! Thanks for watching and I hope this helps.

[@fphtrains]

@@StarlifeStudios Thanks, I’ll be going to london soon and seeing a 373 is defo on my bucket list, is there an app you use in particular to find out the headcodes/numbers etc

[@StarlifeStudios]

9I32 is another promising one. There is almost always at least one peak-time departure so you'll definitely see one. I use realtimetrains.co.uk, it does exactly what you'd expect it to. Have fun in London. Oh! and make sure you go to Clapham Junction, you'll love all the action 😃

[@fphtrains]

@@StarlifeStudios Where i’ll be staying is in clapham! Yes I use realtime trains but some operators of can’t see the number and after a well can’t be used anymore which is somewhat annoying, looking forward to more videos 😃

[@basictraincontent]

How fast was that Class 373 going at 11:06 I’ve never seen it go past Stratford that quickly ever!!!!

Hello, I estimate that one to be travelling at about 220KPH. The line speed is 230KPH here.

Sadly Eurostars are no longer operating from the capital to Disneyland Paris in June next year due to the fall out of the EU and the pandemic

[@mohammadsiddiq4568]

Eurostar is my favourite because it’s fast

[@drukoo3089]

you should go to north wales maybe llandudno junction

[@StarlifeStudios]

Hi Drukoo, I would like to visit North Wales a lot more although there is quite a lot of time investment involved. Llandudno Junction and Church Stretton are both stations I'm looking at.

[@annabelholland]

Normally, even high speed trains at 100 mph run directly next to the platform. It seems as though this is not the case here for some reason despite the cut and cover technique and also to allow overtaking.

[@Whistleboard]

Is it ok if you do a video of trains at ebsfleet international if that’s ok

[@StarlifeStudios]

Hello, Ebbsfleet is a particularly bad example of what HS1 stations are like. This is especially the case since that station is split and is difficult to capture everything with good sight lines. I don't currently have plans to film at Ebbsfleet but more likely Gravesend.

[@Whistleboard]

Maybe Ashford international

[@Whistleboard]

[@5toCanningTown]

Can you make Trains at West Ham?

[@23adam57]

Great shots! Silly question here, how can you tell the train number when they go past so fast, is there a website or something for it?

[@StarlifeStudios]

Hi Adam, I usually have three methods of gaining numbers. 1. Focus on the train number or try to catch the last 3 numbers of a coach number and say them at the end of your video (your eyes are better than cameras!). 2. If you didnt get the number, you can use VLC player to view individual frames as long as its a bright(ish) day. 3. If all else fails, Realtimetrains will show some train numbers if you know which service you video'ed. I usually use two of these together to increase my confidence and occassionally all three. If you having issues at speed, I would definitely learn where the numbers are on the side and (as crazy as it sounds) move your head at the same time helps! Hope this helps.

[@23adam57]

@@StarlifeStudios Thank you so much, i'll try these out, it's always the middle train of either 377s or 378s which cause me the biggest pain to guess by eye!

Can you do east farliegh

[@Icecoldgaming-vlogs]

How come first generation euro star train make woosh sound but newer versions are quiet

[@extrude22]

Efficiency. The woosh sound is caused by poor aerodynamics meaning the train takes more energy to move.

[@cptpawn7035]

i hope the eurostar e320 will be in germany some day

[@Andrewjg_89]

Stratford International station isn’t much to see except Eurostar trains passing by at high speed and Southeastern Highspeed trains that do stop at Stratford International.

[@StarlifeStudios]

I've been planning this one for a little while but I realised I needed an hour or two extra to catch some 373s. Despite being a lot of the same, these are some of the fastest trains I've ever recorded.
