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 My videos are also designed as a historical reference for the days of the past and to reminisce about the way things were.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

[@duainesimpson274]

Another amazing one! These videos are becoming more brilliant every week.. Well done ❤😃

[@garden-Railway]

Great to see the 158s still going

[@Xavierek2012]

My fav KZbinR letsss goooo

[@coolnessfunny]

Love The New Class 730 Aventra Train Being Dragged By The Class 37 Locomotive! Nice Video!

[@spectrumtrains]

Superb video, nice to see Midland Pullman, It was only last night I watched a TV Program on this train.

[@ENC_Trainspotting]

Great video as usual, good to see the midland pullman and the 37👍

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks ENC, I’d fully planned the Pullman HST but not the 37 or any of the other specials. I guess I had some good luck and some good weather on this day 😃

[@hansinkoppada8730]

Loved the video from Start to end with beautiful captures. Keep it up!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks 😃

[@AndrewG1989]

The West Midlands Railway Class 196 Civity looks like a angry wasp but they still do look really nice. The Class 730s are soon to enter service sometime later this year.

[@maimadha]

Great video:

[@matzk0840]

beautiful captures!

Nice vid! Keep it up! again congrats for 10K

[@PotatoLemons1]

nice catch with the pullman and 196s!

[@StarlifeStudios]

The 196s look.. interesting don’t they. I’m still not sure if I like the styling, I think I prefer the 730s overall. Thanks 😃

[@Sophiebryson510]

Good video, as always!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks BRtechnicalservices 😃

Amazing

great video

[@jjyt5708]

I was on the Midland Pullman going to Edinburgh!

[@arnoldspottingvideos5269]

Nice video Ross. Good to see WMR 196s doing the Shrewsbury route 👍

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Arnold! 😃 I wanted to visit here before 170s all went over to 196s and although there was quite a lot of 196s out, I think I managed a good job.

[@arnoldspottingvideos5269]

@@StarlifeStudios You certainly did 👍

[@geraiswaiya2347]

Superb footage, not least helped by the fantastic lighting.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Winter mornings are always bad for lighting Gerais!

[@geraiswaiya2347]

@@StarlifeStudios interesting, I thought some of the trains looked great with that lighting, particularly the 158 pair.

[@Northwestexpress.]

Nice 👍

[@LordEverythingtrains]

Great vid

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Lord Everything 😃

[@GirlLovesAviation]

Awww damn it, i missed the Midlands Pullman! And I only live literally across the road from Wolverhampton Train Station 😑 can see the station from the shared living room (yes I'm in student accommodation)

[@AcrossTheNetwork]

Another superb video Ross, loved the Pullman at the beginning, I’ve seen it a few times around the Reading area! Congratulations on 11,000 subscribers, keep up the great work!🙂

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Theo! I really like the Pullman HST, the VP185 engines add to the overall train set and it’s great to see it in service. 11K today but it seems like only yesterday we passed 10K, the channel has been growing at a nice steady pace for the last few weeks and I’m really excited to bring you all some amazing videos this year 😃👍🏻

[@AcrossTheNetwork]

@@StarlifeStudios They Certainly are, i completely agree it is growing at a fast pace! It’s mad to think you’ve managed to gain a thousand in a few weeks when my channel gains a hundred every 6 months 😂Keep up the awesome work! 🙂

[@StarlifeStudios]

I think of KZbin channels like Oil Tankers.. It takes ages to get them moving and up to speed, but, when theyre moving... theyre really hard to stop! My advice to you is to not focus on the numbers too much, its so easy to get sucked into comparing yourself to others but its a vicious cycle! Be the best version of you possible and no-one can stop you 😃

[@AcrossTheNetwork]

@@StarlifeStudios I completely agree, I think everyone sometimes gets sucked into the statistics. I do sometimes but it never gets me anywhere! After all I’m doing KZbin because I want to share my passion not because I want 1000+ subs! Thanks for the kind words there really inspirational! 🙂

[@RoManiAC_979]

You should do Corby station (MML)

[@theimperialist2686]

Nice railway video

[@TheCaterhamBusGuys]

hello! love the videos do u take requests? if so please could you do trains at gatwick airport, redhill or reigate please?

[@GamedOutJosh]

I just found out I went to wolverhampton on this day yet didn't see the pullman. My luck

[@StarlifeStudios]

It passed pretty early around 9am, my videos tend to skew time since I didnt start recording everything for a few minutes after this passed. Thanks for watching Josh.

[@z3ficcial596]

city of wolverhampton sign is cool

[@timvandiepen8373]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@petersopacua9349]

A lot of dieseltrains , that,s why the buildings in Great-Brittain are so grey and dirty by airpolution by dieseltrains and diesellocomotives !!

[@eastlondontransport6468]

Great video! Do you think Wolverhampton is a good station to visit and for train spotting as well

[@StarlifeStudios]

On the right day, yes! You'll see a lot of 350s and 390s but sometimes 150s, 175s, 323s and freight comes through here.

[@fuzzyblueProductions4553]

thats my local station

[@paulmatulavich7321]

What make and model of camera are you using here please? Thank you from the USA.

[@StarlifeStudios]

I use a Panasonic HC VX1. Kind regards from the UK!

[@georgedowns4034]

Hi starlife, wat editing software do u use please?

[@maimadha]

Starlife uses Cyberlink PowerDirector to edit the videos

[@Zuuu40]

When is your q&a video coming out?

[@StarlifeStudios]

The responses have been recorded and I’m just editing (all 85 comments!) 😃

@@StarlifeStudios i can't wait

[@YBZGSpots]

Hey there Ross, Zain here! I’m the person you met at Lewes yesterday while spotting the 313. It was a pleasure to meet you. I remember you asked me to pop you a link to my channel. Not sure where you want me to do that? Is there an email you’d like me to send it to, or should I just drop it here? :)

[@StarlifeStudios]

Hey Zain, It was great to meet you yesterday. I can click on your channel via this comment so there's no need to do anything else. Many thanks for your support! 😃

[@gojifan_no7]

Bro gets every single train in Britain on his videos

[@StarlifeStudios]

I haven't found a location where that is possible yet Vince but I certainly aim for as many as possible in a video 😃

[@GreatEasternMainlineSpots]

Are you gonna visit Colchester again anytime soon?

[@StarlifeStudios]

I don’t plan to visit Colchester for a while. With the 321s gone, the variety has disappeared and I’m more likely to visit smaller stations on this route (such as Manningtree). Thanks for your understanding 👍🏻

[@GreatEasternMainlineSpots]

@@StarlifeStudios all good it's just there has been alot more Older trains coming through like 44932black 5 and a class 67 you might get lucky but I understand the variety has disappeared

[@StarlifeStudios]

I’ll definitely look into it but I’ll have to plan on a day which is interesting since most of my newer GA videos haven’t been well received 😞

[@GreatEasternMainlineSpots]

@@StarlifeStudiosoh damn that sucks it really depends when you post the video,I have posted videos at certain times and they haven't got much views but I upload a video at a certain time it gets pretty decent views,but anyways hope that helps and goodluck with Ur next vid

[@maimadha]

​@@StarlifeStudios as you mentioned Colchester the station has lost its variety!

[@garden-Railway]

Track looks a bit undulating

[@darth_gamer6359]

Your telling me that they replaced the class 170 with that peice of garbage
