I remember playing on and around that station as a kid in the 70’s ......it had waiting rooms the length of the platform ,and a signal box there too back then .
You should! If they would cut the bush down at the end of the platform it would be even better! Let me know if you go, I'll gladly give your video a watch :)
I highly recommend going on a weekday at around midday to afternoon. Obviously, you’ll get more passenger traffic than me after the timetables have gone back to normal. Those 170s aren’t doubled up all the time! Have fun and be safe JBW :)
Thank you very much Daniel! I did see your comment on the first video but I messed up the headcodes of the last clip so I thought I would fix it today :)
StarlifeStudios Rail Videos yes got to love those HST’s ❤️😎👍🏽 43366 (43166) has been pounding that route on and off now for 39 years, as it was originally built for XC under BR as part of XC set 253042 (43165 & 43166) in 1981.
It’s becoming harder and harder to get them now! But of a shame it was held up by the 37 in-front but still a good classic mix. Very interesting, I’m not sure what future these have with CrossCountry.
StarlifeStudios Rail Videos I think they will have a future for a few years yet, as they have just spent good money making the 5 sets compliant and whoever wins the franchise in the future will probably have cascaded MML 222’s to add/bolster the XC fleet. XC is the “poor relation” compared to other premium franchises as it does not directly serve London anymore, so the DFT looks at it as a ‘make do and mend’ franchise, but you never know. Perhaps the new operator in the future will jump on the Hitachi 80x bandwagon and order a fleet of these? If that happens then yes, the 5 XC HST’s will probably be consigned to History.
Hi Thomas, Central Rivers TMD (also known as Barton-under-Needwood Depot) is just outside of Burton on Trent. I believe the current Bombardier depot replaced an older depot by the same name. Thanks for your kind comments 🙂
Hi Thomas, I haven’t done many videos in Wales or West. It’s something I’m looking to improve on. I will try and organise a visit to those stations soon 👍🏻
Yes your very right! I always make sure I stand behind the yellow line and observe my surroundings. The wind muffle noise has been fixed on my up-coming videos.

Container trains are dependent on when ships dock and drivers are available. When these all align, they often run early since its better to arrive early than late.

I didn’t realise how good of a station water orton is but it looks fantastic! I might think about going, great video 👍

Nice catch on the class 37 especially the freight

@@StarlifeStudios no worries bro at least we enjoyed your video
No problems lets just say it was 'Technical Difficulties'
@@Vk.Dane7 Absolutely! At least it wasn't cancelled :)
@@StarlifeStudios indeed
Another great quality, enjoyable watch 😎👍🏽 Nice to see the XC HST on the 1V50 passing at speed 💨💨😊👍🏽
I knew you’d like that one EJC! Always a pleasure.

@@StarlifeStudios can't complain about a 37 tho
I actually love the noise of voyagers
The passing noise? I do too!
@@StarlifeStudios yep
Brilliant video! I really enjoyed this :)
Thanks Trainspotter11, I am glad you enjoyed it! Its not very often I film this amount of freight!
great videa mate 😀
Great video!
Thanks ACE! Great to hear from you. Hope you are doing good 🙂
Amazing video
Thanks Glasgow Railways :D
Great quality video! Where is central rivers TMD located?

Nice
Thanks James! Plenty of freight as always here.
@@StarlifeStudios that's nice
@@StarlifeStudios I like the 70s
Great video
Thanks Nathan!
Would it be possible for you to do a video of trains at Salisbury and a another video of trains at Cardiff Central please?
Hi Thomas, I haven’t done many videos in Wales or West. It’s something I’m looking to improve on. I will try and organise a visit to those stations soon 👍🏻
Great work
Thanks Lord Everything! I know this type of video isn't your area of expertise but I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
@@StarlifeStudios freight is something that I always can't find in other channels videos so If I want any freight action I know where to look!
When the Voyagers goes fast, they're make a lot of wind even the freight train so be careful bro.

@@StarlifeStudios Yep
@@StarlifeStudios When are you doing the LTSR videos.

@@StarlifeStudios 745s are still on test I think and some of them are on the Norwich services
Great vid
Thanks Sam. Glad to hear from you.
StarlifeStudios Rail Videos no problem
Good to hear from you as well
Nice video
Thanks Mark!
At 8:47 how was the train over 2 hours early?
Container trains are dependent on when ships dock and drivers are available. When these all align, they often run early since its better to arrive early than late.
How many trains stop there
Currently, I believe its one train every 2 hours in each direction (1 to Leicester, 1 to Birmingham).
StarlifeStudios Rail Videos okay thank you
Do another poll
Hi Lord Everything, there will be one next week :)
what happened
There was an error in the video. I had to re-render the entire video to correct it. Hope you don’t mind 😃
@@StarlifeStudios ok
