Please excuse the occasional 'popping' sound in the video footage, this was due to a camera problem.

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.org/wiki/Train_r...
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.

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 My videos are also designed as a historical reference for the days of the past and to reminisce about the way things were.

Hello Everyone, firstly THANK YOU for being part of my 7000 Subscribers!
Please excuse the occasional popping sound in the video, this was due to a camera zoom problem which I have since resolved.
Have a great Sunday 😃
Well done for 7K
@@Jake-The-Gwr-And-Tfw-Spotter Thank you! ☺️
Ur welcome
Starlife. Is there anywhere I can message u regarding ur video camera? Plzzzzzz?
Amazing video nice features
Nice catches of Class 700s 222s 360s and even a class 50
Nice I like that class 222 just overtaking the 700 at the start 👍
this was funny because. I suggested this video idea and he actally took the idea. Also well done for 7k
I’m always keeping an eye on my suggestions. It just so happened that I had already been before you said it, good timing I suppose 😃
@@StarlifeStudios Yeah. I guess it was.
The Class 810 Aurora AT300s are expected to enter service next year that are replacing the Class 180 Adelante and Class 222 Meridian units. Plus Thameslink Class 700 trains will soon stop at Brent Cross West that is probably to be completed before the end of this year. Harpenden is just south of Luton Airport.
The white/plum livery is growing on me. If they keep the 222s as clean as they seem in this video, they give off a beautiful purple/blue tint in the sunlight.
Great railway video as always mate.
Many thanks ⭐️😃
Very nice station. It’s also my local station and it’s really nice as well. Keep up the good work. Your doing great 👍 Again congrats for the 7k
I'm amazed on how long some of those Class 700's are; to think you can fit the entire population of a small town in one of those trains. Nice video as always, congrats on 7k! You'll certainly get more in no time!
Thanks Bus of Doom, the 700s certainly are long which is great for carting around passengers and fresh air 🤣 The channel has been progressing really well recently and I'm really happy with it all! Maybe one day I will achieve the same amount of greatness as you!😃
The AC sounds on the 700s never get old. An enjoyable watch 😃
Thanks Yawwie! Glad you enjoyed this weeks video 😃👍

When should we expect A new Yawwie news episode
Great video👍
Thanks ENC 👍
Harpenden railway station is on the Midland Main Line in England, serving the town of Harpenden, Hertfordshire. It is 24 miles 51 chains down the line from London St Pancras and is situated between St Albans City to the south and Luton Airport Parkway to the north. Its three-letter station code is HPD.
The station is served by Govia Thameslink-operated trains on the Thameslink route.
At least the 360s are in service now
Like the new thumbnail design! looks like a painting!
I'm really happy with the Thumbnail for this video, it hardly needed any modifications either! 😃
Great video.
Liking the new intro! Great video
Thanks David, I liked the old one but it was far too long for modern UA-cam.
Amazing work
Happy 7K and great video BTW
Thank you so much 😀
Congrats, you reach up to 7K Subscribers. Well done 😃👍
Thanks Arnold! The channel is really picking up some pace now and I’m glad you’ve been here since the very beginning 😃👍🏻
Great video 👍☺️
Thank you James 🤗
Trains that serve Harpenden used to run to Moorgate a long time ago
12:23 top class moment ,is like you made it happen in a train simulator game
Its quite funny, as I watch that clip, I remember trying to make a decision of which to film first. Either way, this is the result! 🤣
God job
Excellent video. Congratulations on reaching 7000 subscribers.
Thank you very much Desiro360! This video is right up your street 😃
Great location & video 😎👍🏽 Those 222 Meridians will soon be a thing of the past on the MML as the 810’s edge ever nearer 😯🤔👍🏽
Not a moment to soon either, the Meridians are my favourite Voyager variant but they’ve been ran into the ground since EMT. EMR also don’t currently offer any catering on board trains (not even a trolley)
@@StarlifeStudios thats a poor show/offering from EMR 😟💩I was Speaking to a XC driver 2 weeks ago in Exeter and rumours are (just talk at the moment) in the XC camp that the 222’s will be going to XC when the EMR 810’s are up and running mid to late 2023 🤔 We’ll have to wait and see if that evolves because as it stands 222’s are not software compatible with the current XC voyager 220/221 fleet, but there again they could be run as a separate class for XC as everything is unit based now. If they do come across to XC along with the 18 Avanti 221’s then that will probably spell the end for the XC HST’s and 170 Turbostars 😯😟 watch this space 👀👍🏽
@@StarlifeStudios I was on an EMR 180 last week and the catering trolley came round shortly before the train broke down
Good to see the 60. 🙂 But miss the HSTs and 319s 😪
Thanks Ben. Those are both solid reasons why I don't really visit the Midland Mainline anymore. With the exception of the 360s, everything else is visible elsewhere. The 700s are literally everywhere!
What camera and lens do you use to film?
Hello Irish Transport Enthusiast, I use a Panasonic HC-VX1.
I LOVE Thameslink
Me to
Could you do St Albans City since it's the station before Harpenden?
Plus how will you record other videos since there's a big rail strike across UK?
The strikes are causing me (and everyone else) a lot of pain. I will be recording between them but this is easier said than done. I have a lot of video backlog so I am prepared. 😃
@@StarlifeStudios yes and also the ticket price has doubled as the price from here (East Croydon) to my friends house (Birmingham) went from 27 quid to 40!
16:35 broken window
11:00 oh my i remember 700001 ive seen that lots of times and had a ride on it to. always think that train is sort of weird it makes me think its the very first one lol.
Thanks itzdoctordavidplays, the irony is that the first 700 (700106) was delivered in July 2015 and it wouldn't be for at least another year before 700001 was delivered!
@@StarlifeStudios Okay
Video Idea: Trains at Shepreth
I will certainly look into it, I've long wanted to visit Royston as well, especially before the 365s went.
Yeah. It’s a really nice station as well
Can you do St Albans next please
Why dose it take like 4 months to upload a new video?
It doesn’t, I could actually produce and publish a video in less than 2 hours but I choose to save my videoes. I’ve found that the date the video was created and published doesn’t seem to matter that much. Most of my viewers prefer upload consistency over being recent. Thanks for the question though Welsh Trainspotter 😃
Quick question, why do the Thameslink trains have a higher headcode priority than the fast EMR trains?
Also congratulations on 7k 🎉🎉
Nice to see the 360 and 180 aswell :)
Hi Tom, Thameslink use 9 headcodes to distinguish themselves from other operators and to make it easier for signallers to route them the correct way. On National Rail, 9s actually don’t command any extra priority than 1s or 2s. Thanks for being apart of the journey 😃
@@StarlifeStudios
Oh right that's v interesting but it makes sense.
My next question is then do they have the same priority as a 1 or 2 headcode, or are they all the same?
Wow a new intro. And i would like this vid bc the 700s and 222s. i would rather youve done either 700s and 222s or 91s and 180s or 390s and 221s.
Thanks Anthony, I haven't covered the Midland Mainline for a while since there is very little variety compared to the East and West Coast Mainline. I will keep your comments in mind for future videos 😃
@@StarlifeStudios how is there lots of trains at this station its still rail strikes
DC sound is wayyyy better than AC
Where is that
Its on the title
It’s in Hertfordshire
Oh ye
Can you do custom house next pls
I am reviewing my options for CrossRail stations, I am a little hesitant because of the lack of variety. Thanks for watching!
