A solo locomotive moving at speed always seems rather strange, and faintly alarming. It judders about from side to side more rapidly without the dampening effect of a heavy load being hauled behind, and betrays an impression that it might be considering taking leave of the track. And there's something incomplete and ill-proportioned about an engine without its rake of coaches, like a peacock without its long tail feathers.
ITS BACK, Welcome to the 2022 Edition of - Trains at Speed UK. I've put a lot of hard work into making this and I hope you will all agree with me that its the BEST yet! CHALLENGE: Post below, what's your favourite train AND which train was the FASTEST ⬇
I love seeing fast trains! I'm super shocked when I see Avanti West coast trains going SO FAST in sharp curves (2:00) because in Spain (I'm spanish) we have high speed lines and I'm not used it see a train faster than 60 km/h in a mainline in a sharp curve. Absolutely amazing!
I suppose it's one of the advantages of British railroads that they can go so fast on curves! And I am very happy to see that some trains are using Japanese-made cars. Great video👍
I suppose advantage is one way to explain it! If we never had the curves in the first place, the entire network would be a lot faster. Hitachi trains are now common on the UK Rail network but there are sadly less of our own UK designed trains. Thanks for watching! 😃
@@StarlifeStudiosJapan actually uses air controlled active suspension to tilt their high speed trains but it only does very little and it only on the new N700 series but the tracks on the Shinkansen are banked heavily up to 5degrees so when you go on a Shinkansen many you might notice the bank especially on the Tokaido Shinkansen at hamamatsu station. In Japan we do have narrow gauge low speed ltexp trains that are tilting like in the uk too
That shot at 5:45 was epic! You must have been giddy when you saw not one, not two, but 3 at once! Was that pre-planned or by pure accident? Either way, I had to rewatch several times!
Thanks Pigur, I was certainly lucky to catch that! I think I knew that they were coming (from what I remember, the distant headlight caught my eye at 05:40) but I had no idea that a crossover like this was about to happen. I'm usually aware of 95% of what I record but some of it is luck/skill that I face the right way for the one that passes me first. If you want to see good planning, have a look at this moment of my most recent video: ua-cam.com/video/avhWwnhZWmY/v-deo.html 😃
Yesss! Trains at speed 2022 edition is here! I love seeing the 390s tilt on the corners of the WCML! Great video, certainly will be looking forward for the 2023 edition!
Much appreciated Inky Squid! I wish I could just make these video for you but they are the result of months of filming, video selection and editing. The speed tab is 95% accurate, using me as the reference point, I worked out the speed based on the time from the front to the rear using the video frames and the length of the train. Its a time consuming process but I think the effect is worth it!
As a journalist working overseas, I was one of the few lucky ones to board the maglev between Tokyo and Nagoya. It's quiet and stable, and when I closed my eyes, I really could forget that I was moving at 500km per hour.
Woooooo!!! Another banging trains at speed year! Loved this video as usual, and love the new approximate speed, that's cool! Also some great tones to go with it! Loved it!
I'm spannish, and when i was come to UK, i was to do videos on Wembey Central, but i don't go to statford, but when i see it, i will be go to statford for the next time, i vill be go to statford, thanks!
This particular run was to accumulate miles before being transferred to the operator - Abellio Greater Anglia. I believe this is fairly standard practice for Alstom products manufactured at Derby. Hope this helps 😃
May be just me transitioning from watching videos of the Keisei Skyliner in Japan but I find it really interesting how conventional box-shape rolling stock (350 class as an example) are able to hit 110mph//180kmh
Hi Andy, prior to May 2022, Southern operated an hourly service to Milton Keynes from Croydon but this has now ceased. The 377 you saw was operating a weekend service to Milton Keynes. You can watch the full video at Berkhamsted here: ua-cam.com/video/ljQZnUA9HpI/v-deo.html
You were lucky to catch the rainbow livery on the javelin. Apparently it's rare! Can't wait to see the rest of this! (Also I miss the 373, not many in service now)
I actually caught it several times so I guess you could say I'm lucky! The 373s are not as rare as they seem, at least a quarter of all Eurostars are 373s and apprently, theyre the most reliable of the fleet.
@@ilikeplanees4925 I would love to although I would worry that it’s not really what my audience are interested in. I would have to make a poll to find out what people thought but it’s a great idea 😃

0p
Even the rake of mk3s and dvt doesn't stop the chiltern 68s from seriously wobbling about. Although it's unfailingly impressive at the same time.
they are designed to do that they most likely wont fall of the reack because they are not going to go over 200 and then fall of the track
It looks scary 😨 to me.

I absolutely love the sound of 373s going past 15:37, 16:10, 17:21, 18:19, 20:27, 21:22, 21:47 and 23:05. And it being my favourite train, i like it!
I love the 373s, such a classic sound. There are few other fast 373 clips in this video too and I'm sure you'll love them too.
The 373s are also known as Eurostars.

CHALLENGE: Post below, what's your favourite train AND which train was the FASTEST ⬇
Swallow class 90 or 325 were my favourite this year, and the pendolinos and azumas were going pretty fast
My favourites were the 800s and I think the Eurostars and 390s were the fastest👍
The fastest were the eurostars but my favourites are the 91, 390 and 395
I’m a big fan of your channel 🚂🚂!
Amazing work man. Love watching these lovely trains haul through England
I love seeing fast trains!

I'm also spanish and I though the same! It's insane how some of these trains tilt in the curves
@@Daniel718S It's an old technique from the British Rail days, back when we were innovative
germany has faster ones
Why does the Avanti trains seem to be going soo fast even when their doing the same speed as other high speed trains?
@@elvpse who asked bro

Hopefully the best version yet!
@@StarlifeStudios It already is 😎
@Darik Hey!!!
I KNOW RIGHT
I cant wait for 2023 version😆😆😆
My 2 year old loves these videos. Always waving goodbye as each one goes past.
Great video as usual, these are among your best, really appreciate the estimated speed tab, really gives a perspective in the running etc.
Much appreciated Inky Squid! I wish I could just make these video for you but they are the result of months of filming, video selection and editing.

Yeah, this video not being 60fps make the speed seems unrealistic.
Love high speed trains great video
As a journalist working overseas, I was one of the few lucky ones to board the maglev between Tokyo and Nagoya. It's quiet and stable, and when I closed my eyes, I really could forget that I was moving at 500km per hour.
wow that tilt angle at 0:25 is crazy
All 13 degrees of tilt! You can watch the full video here: ua-cam.com/video/ljQZnUA9HpI/v-deo.htmlsi=c6Y_q9dLht4UukZW
What is about trains, especially fast ones, that is so fascinating! I could spend all day watching them, but I could never explain why!
I really appreciate the fact many teens are interested about filming passing train at high speed
Woooooo!!! Another banging trains at speed year! Loved this video as usual, and love the new approximate speed, that's cool! Also some great tones to go with it! Loved it!
Thanks Tiger Trainz, it took some serious time to make those speed approximations but I think it’ll be worth it. Hopefully this is the best one yet!!
Shooting spots, angles, best shots. That's great!
Glad you enjoyed :)
Good to see so many trains still sporting the Intercity Swallow Livery (the best livery to grace British Railways)
Absolutely! 🙂
I like that they repainted some of the IC 225's in their original livery. They look fantastic
Where?
Well filmed! Great video. That shot at 2:03 is epic!
What a time to be a train, who wouldn't want to ride the screaming rails with these Goliaths of maddening modernity and doplar tooting fun.
After a long day of school I can sit down and watch trains at speed here
Looks like I timed it well then and I'm glad I could provide. There are some great clips in this one AND it includes High Speed One! 😃
what was that hanging off the 390 at 2:06?
Have to say, out of all those high speed runs! It has to go to the High speed one! Phenomenal
Yh
0:23 oh wow that was a fast UK 🇬🇧 train l remember.
1:39 did anyone else see the camera jolt a bit, i think he got a bit frightened 😂
Fr?

Glad you like them! I wish I could make them more reguarly but my work and hobby don't match very well :(
@@StarlifeStudios I know what it feels like I do enjoy your videos!
I love your video I watch every single day
Wow very Nice Train UK and 4K thx for the very nice video 👌👍
Love how you show the speed of the trains as well, a nice unqiue touch! Great video
Glad you liked it DP 😃 As you know better than most, that sort of thing requires some time to do!
Really appreciate the time and effort you put into these fantastic video’s.🇸🇪
Beautiful trains, beautifully photographed! Can’t wait to travel to the UK and ride real trains someday!
What microphone do u use it sounds so FIRE 🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely stunning! Camera work is sublime!
Thank you very much! I put a lot of effort into making sure motion is as smooth as possible but I am improving all the time 😃
Great vid, I remember as a kid spotting, we used ta go to Kiveton Park a lot it was great watching the HST 125 going through at full speed ..
What camera do you use? 😁
5:52
1 Freight and 2 transport trains at once
That was once in a life time 🤯🤯
Agreed
Beautiful i like the Britisch EMU,s and electric locomotives !!
Great video. This video inspired my technique taking videos of trains in N Ireland.
Great to hear! 😃
You got some excellent shots in this, love the speed limits too!
3:27 why is there a TransPennine Express 68 on Rugby platform 5??? so confused
Appreciate the hard work n staying power recording this great montage...Well done 👍🏽😊👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you! I’m really glad you enjoyed and appreciate my time 😃
What's a ga 720 doing on the WCML?
This particular run was to accumulate miles before being transferred to the operator - Abellio Greater Anglia. I believe this is fairly standard practice for Alstom products manufactured at Derby. Hope this helps 😃
London Northwestern Railway in ThamesLink livery 1:27
the 319s were originally from thameslink but never bothered reliverying them
I wait every year just for this.
I hope it was worth it for you GoogleHomeboi!
@@StarlifeStudios Well worth it especially the chiltren 68s their sound is incredible
Excellent video, really appreciate the work you have put in this; my fav is 91s and the Eurostat 373! Fastest is the 374
0:49 The Doppler effect on that horn with it being discharged so close is crazy
Class 700 037 track sound is pure ❤️
Greatvideo and nice to know how fast the trains are moving
Thank you very much! It too a little time to make but I think its worth it 😃
If you dont mind me asking,where exactly is the spot in Charing located?
Its located near Charing at: TQ 93950 47799
The look of these trains are cool.
those Avanti trains, now that would be lovely to ride in TSW3 :)))
Great video as always, good to see trains at speed👍
Thank you very much!
4:36 my favourite shot, self tilting on full display and they speed at which it pulls away!
I've been waiting for this! Very nice
Number 3, lets gooooo! 😃
@@StarlifeStudios nice to have some different lines as well. Let's see if it gets 150k views like the other ones!
Or even 450k views, lol
Lets hope so, every view is a step closer to 10K Subscribers 😃
@@StarlifeStudios I also finally filmed at Finsbury Park for my favourite trains the class 91, saw 91110 and the NHS 700 700111! Im very happy haha
I love the fact that in England
Even the most normal of engines in the country get their picture taken!
All trains deserve their time in the sun! The way I see it, they'll all be replaced one day and someone would have wanted me to film them 😃
@feStudios That is so true!
Couldn't have put it better myself!
May be just me transitioning from watching videos of the Keisei Skyliner in Japan
but I find it really interesting how conventional box-shape rolling stock (350 class as an example) are able to hit 110mph//180kmh
@StarlifeStudios Why do you skip the freight?
Idk
Not gonna lie, if I was ever to be walking on the platform and one of these trains go by, I'd be falling down
3:29 TPE Mk5a at Rugby? How did that end up there?

Thanks! It took a little time but for trains at speed it was ideal 😁
I love trains at speed! 💖 ‘Cause of the trains passing through the station always a wind turbulence, but we have to stand back behind the yellow line
