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 My videos are also designed as a historical reference for the days of the past and to reminisce about the way things were.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

Yo yo yo Berkhamsted I love that station alot because its one of the stations on the West Coast Mainline where the Pendolinos and Super Voyagers can tilt

[Rorywizz]

The fact that they can go that fast around a curve that tight is insane

[girlygallmi]

I love the way the pendilino went flying through the station with the tilting physics on the curve

[tedlishman]

My Cousin lives there. Used to use that station so much, Went to Euston and back a lot when going for Day Trips to London and whatever else my Family And I used to do because my Granny lived not far from there either, so we'd stay at hers when visiting the area from Wales. LOVE LOVE LOVE BERKHAMSTED!!!!

Nice variety of trains like the Pullman, to LEs, to your local fast and stopping 350, the commuter 377 and also to tilting trains

[TypicalNathanTrains]

Best station to watch some tilting action

[SlowLineTrainspotting]

Love Berkhamsted station! It's one of my frequent visits!

[ukrailspotter]

Great video mate. Nice to catch 390121 the climate livery looks fantastic 👍

[Jakeso]

I don't think there is any other train channel with such an amazing intro, I litteraly have to dance to it every time! Great vid!

[thebrummierailenthusiasts]

0:35 the midland Pullman hst definitely the best train to kick start

[librarian]

For anyone wishing to go there, there is an excellent fish and chip shop in a former station building just outside.

[jeremyhaile]

Was my home station for many years. Back in the days of the APT, they filmed it going through Berkhamsted to show off the tilting

[Trainspotter_]

Brilliant video! I really enjoyed this :)

[SamuelIles]

When I went there on New Year’s Eve, there was tape on that platform. Didn’t know you could go on platform 3? Great video!

I lived in Berko during the 1930's and as a train enthusiast it's almost a disappointment to see what trains look like now!

But the station still looks very much the same! I fear those red brick apartment buildings may block to view of the Castle on the way through.

Back then two school friends of mine and I were building a massive Gauge 0 rail system in the attic of one of their houses -- hand build all the track sticking down wooden sleepers (ties) and 4 pins to hold each chair (British used bullhead rail unlike the American flat bottom) .... and a center rail since 2 rail electric had not yet come in. We didn't build the points (switches) but Basset Lowke and Bond's of Euston Road were a much too tempting source. We bought engines but built the coaches and goods wagons.

Back then the return fare to Boxmoor, the next station towards London for school children was 1 penny and from time to time we would buy tickets, proudly show them to the ticket inspector and go up the stairs to the slow up platform. The trick was not to get off the train at Boxmoor but stay on it to Watford Junction since there was no ticket inspection onboard the local trains.

If we were careful we avoided an inspection on the platform, or if caught explained that we did not know the train we caught in Berkhamsted went non-stop to Watford Junction!

Not that I'm suggesting anything!

Berkhamsted railway station is in the town of Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, England. It is located just beside Berkhamsted Castle, overlooking the Grand Junction Canal. The station is 28 miles northwest of London Euston on the West Coast Main Line. London Northwestern Railway operates services to London, Northampton and many other destinations.

There are 4 platforms of 12-car length on both the fast and slow lines. The platforms are arranged around a central island and two side platforms. The station is relatively unusual on the route in that most of the original buildings have been retained.

I’ve NEVER seen so many early trains! Multiple were over 10 minutes ahead of schedule! 😅

[zficcial]

First ! And can’t wait for this WCML video

[AFCManUk]

To look at, you would think those Class 350's to be only 75MPH runners tops on most other suburban/country lines, but they don't half shift at their top line speed of 110MPH on the WCML!

[davidpanton]

Trains at speed! This is what they want.
