Headcodes – e.g. 1F32 or 5M00 – These are used by the railway signallers to determine where trains are on the network. Every train within a region has a specific four code ID. Click Here to learn more

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 My videos are also designed as a historical reference for the days of the past and to reminisce about the way things were.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

Great video and always great to see a 37 around. Well done 👍

[thelondoner]

A class 170 at a high speed is possibly one of the most satisfying sounds known to man

Nice job you're always the best Train Spotter

[GrayLeafTrainspotting]

You should come to Portlethen train station

[JacobsTrainVideos]

Amazing video Ross!! Some amazing shots there on the straights it looks like a brilliant station! I imagine 90% of the trains were absolutely rammed but better to film them than be on them! Nice catch of the 68s on the intermodals and the 37 PLPR sounding great!!

I live near year and love going here and also great video ross

Great Video Ross! Love to see the Turbostars still in service and the 37 thrash. Have you thought of doing any station near Southend? Thanks for sharing mate👍👍

[davidpanton]

That blackbird was the star of the show.

[Pendolino_Fin]

You should go to cheddington I would highly recommend it

[camotech]

Those 170s can be quick when they want

[benward]

Hey Ross, why is 170101 going to Birmingham New Street?

[SouthEastRailwayVideos]

Nice one Starlife and entertaining as always, nice quiet little station! I do apologise if I’m asking this again but it’s my birthday soon and I’m wondering if you could tell me what camera you use and whether you’d recommend it/easy enough to use! Also how much it cost you to buy. I’m guessing you’d import the videos to your phone after??
Thanks for your time if you do read and reply to this comment 😀! Regards!

5:30 cool to see the two signals change in the distance!

Great video as always. Is the line speed 125mph here?

[OverSpotterBlackHUS]

Nice video! Do Bombardier Turbostar trains of Class 170 serve the same routes as the Bombardier Voyager trains of Classes 220 and 221? But are the Turbostars also InterCity train vehicles as Voyagers?

[Andrewjg_]

Are CrossCountry getting rid of the Class 170 Turbostars or are they going to keep them and to inherit more extra Class 221 Voyagers.

That some have been cascaded from Avanti West Coast to Grand Central. And CrossCountry to inherit the Class 222 Meridians from East Midlands Railway.

How much money do you have to throw at the railway for these trips?
