🚄 INFORMATION KEY
Train Numbers - e.g. 43032 or 800110 - These are train numbers which are specific to that train. No trains can be numbered the same. Locos are 5 digit numbers where the first two numbers are the class of train e.g. 67010 would be a class 67. Multiple Units are 6 digit numbers where the first three numbers are the class of train e.g. 390154 would be a class 390. Click Here to learn more

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
➤ en.wikipedia.o...
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 My videos are also designed as a historical reference for the days of the past and to reminisce about the way things were.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.
Catch them whilst you still can - the Class 507s don’t have long.
All but ONE of the 507/508s I saw in this video have since been scrapped. Check the description for the details. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
there is 2 that hasn't yet, 507030 has not been scrapped
That looks like a nice place even though it’s small
The last 508 ran on Saturday I think
Excuse my french, but fucking hell the 777s are quick off the bat!
They certainly are! The 507s aren’t that slow either though 🙂
The new class 777s on Mersey rail look better than the old trains
I agree
My local station
Excellent video as always!
Thanks again!
Beautiful 507 livery in a stunning train! ❤
Great video
Thank you 🙂
Lovely ROG catch
It’s a bit of an awkward station to film at since the track bends around the platform and you end up filming other people. I was lucky that it stopped though! Thanks for watching 😃
Love the video especially the 507 parts
508139 and 141 mate, 140 went a long time before these two🙂
Ah yes you are correct, I must have confused myself with the numbers! I have added a correction to the description. Thank you.
Can u do trains at Wembley Central?
Unfortunately, this is not a station I plan to visit. The covered and dark nature of the station makes is difficult to film and the fast lines are inaccessible. If there happens to be a day where I can gain access to these platforms - I will consider it but that hasn’t happened for a long time. Thanks for your support and understanding.
@@StarlifeStudios okay 👌
Excellent just as always! ⭐ keep up the great work
That buckeye coupler is unique for that 37
I been waiting for Nottingham! Where is he??
Thank you! Bidston is great! Are you able to do Moreton (Mersey)?
Edit: what phone do you use as you can zoom In a lot!
I will certainly look into it Class35718. I use a Panasonic HC VX1 camcorder, it’s an expense piece of equipment but I’m glad you like it. Thanks for watching as always, hope you are having a great Sunday 😃👍🏻
Its a camcorder💀
That was 508139+508141 not 508139+508140
Farewell Class 507. They too would be missed as well the Class 508. And TfW who are using the Class 230 on the Borderlands Line could inherit few more to boost more extra services.
The 230s aren't too reliable from what I have heard!
😢
Bidston railway station serves the village of Bidston, Merseyside, England. The station is situated at a junction of the West Kirby branch of the Wirral line, which is part of the Merseyrail network; it also serves as the northern terminus for the Borderlands line from Wrexham Central, with services operated by Transport for Wales.
Lovely train the 507 is
Completely agree. They have a modern interior which easily hides their true age. They truly are the work horses of Merseyside and will be missed. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Any chance you could do Hemel Hempstead?
I live there and I would be nice to have a trainspotter for once lol
Hemel Hempstead you say! I'll certainly give it a go in the future.
@@StarlifeStudios Ah thank you!
Absolutely Brilliant Captures Ross! Love this station!
Fun fact : avanti is the fastest company in the west coast mainline
Amazing video again Starlife!! You got some great stuff there it was great to see the 507/8s in action and awesome noises from the 37 as she opened up although shame it was dragging units for scrap i suppose!!
The cycle of rolling stock! The 507/508s have done really well and lasted much longer than expected (they should have been replaced in 2020). I captured a surprising amount of variety considering! Thanks for watching! 😃
@@StarlifeStudios Yea definitely the extra TfW perks the station up a bit
I like the way how you put the numbers it’s so cool❤❤❤❤😊
Thanks for your kind comments 🙂
Can you do Manchester Victoria/Piccadilly
Yes I can 😃👍🏻
Can u do Leighton buzzard
Leighton Buzzard is on my list for a visit! 😃👍🏻
I like the 507/8s. Good video as always.
Catch them whilst you still can. They’ll be completely gone by June! Thanks Sophie 🙂
