🚄 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 My videos are also designed as a historical reference for the days of the past and to reminisce about the way things were.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.
I’ve never seen a Flying Scotsman before, great catch of an steam train!
@Rumdidididumdumur pfp explains it all 😂
Great video! Looks so nice seeing the class 700 go through a jungle type area then over the bridge :)
Thats a 717 by the way
@@alexstrains903 717 and 700's
@@alexstrains903 Terminating Great Northern trains are the 717s the Thameslink are 700
One of my best and favourited trains stations, I always love to come down here to trainspot, or naturally just be fun. My first ride on Thameslink was at the favourited place of Welwyn Garden City!
Thanks for posting this video, made me relive some memories! Good recording and special on the West Coast Railways 60103.
I had a very enjoyable visit. The station staff are wonderful and friendly. With more train variety than ever on this line, you’ve got a great station! 😃
@@StarlifeStudios Can't deny, lovely staff, quick and friendly and know what they are doing, the station idea is also very unique, which also makes it a very interesting and lovely station!
What a great compilation of videos. Really enjoyable.Such a diverse array of locos ranging from 801's to The Flying Scotsman to a train with a lancaster on the side of it. Can't wait for the next one!
Many thanks for your kind comments Inkysquid4! You never know what will pop up in my videos 😃
@@StarlifeStudios Exceppt some quality content ;)
Welwyn Garden City railway station serves the town of Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire, England. It is 20 miles 25 chains (32.69 km) from London King's Cross on the East Coast Main Line.[2] Train services are currently provided by Thameslink and Great Northern.
These are my favorite types of videos where there are fast trains. Keep up the good work 👍👍
Great video mate. Can't get enough of seeing the 91s in action 👍🏻
Same here! I wish I would have filmed them more during their East Coast days. We are lucky to have them in service at all though. Thanks Ben 😃
What an opening to the video! Didn’t expect to see that beauty!
"How many wires do you want on the front of your train?"
Old British trains: "Yes"
Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire. I think there is another Garden City called Letchworth. The amenities regarding the latter are nearby including a well known bank. Steam train included in this video. Been on it many times since 2013.
great movie! love the part when 700 climbs the bridge
Thanks TrainSpotting Ldn. It sure does look like some gradient to get up there! I was hoping to get a shot where a fast would come under at the same time but it wasn't to be. 😃
Hi I like the way you put the timetables on the screen to show the trains lateness or earlyness
Thanks Gayna, that’s what you can expect from all of my videos both new and since 2013! 😃
Excellent railway video again, great catch of the steam train.
Thanks Imperialist. It wasn’t the greatest shot of it but it was better than nothing. It actually failed later in the day so I was very lucky! 😃
What a way to start the video with Flying Scotsman. Think on this rail tour, it failed due to bad coal? Epic action and mixed variety from Welwyn. Miss the Smile class 365 trains. Recon they could have been put to good use still.
Nice one. I shouldn't think that they'd send an 800/1 to Lincoln though haha
I didnt think that was right either Alex, but 1B81 is a regular 9-car 800/1 😃
Ur so lucky to see a flying Scot sman
Smashing one wit Scotsman and the 91s
Thanks, Sorry for the blip earlier which allowed you to see this video early 😂
@@StarlifeStudios no problem. The blip also revealed Dundee lol
Ahh yes, that one is currently being reviewed by Transport Scotland 😉
@@StarlifeStudios nice.
You must have filmed just when frequent ECML service came. Like then King’s Cross was done being remodeled. 8:39 MY FAVORITE 🤩 THAMESLINK TRAIN I like 700123
This was actually filmed on a Saturday but it was good to catch the Flying Scotsman and some 91s 😃
@@StarlifeStudios is actually Flying Scotswomen
Great video.
Thanks! 😃
nice catch of 60103 flying scotsman!
I was actually gonna go to my dads but I can’t because LNER tickets are not available back to Newark because of the problem between Peterborough and Retford of the electric wires
Limo trans is operating now so once you get Heathrow express 387’s that should be your next goal is to get somewhere on the ECML To get some limo 803 is an action
Do next vid at Purley Oaks my local station :D
Wonderful video Starlife! Are steam train still being used in the UK or just for touristic services? I am very surprised they do that quantity of smoke 😱
Hey Joel! Steam is only used for special tourist trains here but it makes a nice change from the normal 😃
It’s steam not smoke
Yeah ikr
Super
My home town
We’re back for a good ECML video. DP’S Railway Videos is always rude to me.
Here’s a joke: That’s the Hogwarts Express. It starts at Kings Cross and travels up the ECML to Edinburgh. Then it crosses central Scotland and travels up the west highland line to Mallaig. Lastly it travels on it’s own bit up to Hogwarts
717s go to moorgate, not kgx
Brilliant video pal! I’m just wondering what camcorder do you use. I’m also looking to get one! 👌
Hello, I use a Panasonic HC VX1. Im not 100% certain it is available anymore since I bought mine in 2019. Hope this helps 😃
Great Northern could inherit the Class 379s from Greater Anglia to operate them on Kings Cross-Peterborough, Cambridge, Cambridge North and Kings Lynn rather than using Thameslink Class 700s.
Maybe so, I would say the 379s are most likely to end up with Southern to replace elderly 313s with 377s. But replacing the 700s are good for variety though 😃
@@StarlifeStudios Guarantee it won’t because they aren’t dual voltage or can be converted to DC 750v 3rd Rail. Or perhaps Great Western Railway should inherit the Class 379s.
It certainly will be interesting to see what happens!
@@StarlifeStudios Ok. Was probably thinking if Great Northern could inherit the Class 387/3s from c2c or GWR might have them for the Reading-Newbury shuttle service. And some the Class 379s to Great Northern and the other Class 379s to Heathrow Express.
How often do you trainspot may I ask?
I do mine once a month
It depends. I usually focus my efforts around April to September so most of my videos are during those periods. I try and do as much as I can but as you say, probably once a month is fair for me as well.
@@StarlifeStudios I do mine once a month as if you have seen, my train videos come out **roughly** on the First Day of every month.
27:46
U see lot of trains
what camera do you use?
Hello, I use a Panasonic HC-VX1. Hope this helps 😃
@@StarlifeStudios thanks!
It’ll be better if all the 700s had a max speed of 110mph on overhead lines.
I completely agree Rayhan, I'm not sure why this has never been considered.
Use
Wow first
Great video
