    This kind of video really makes you appreciate how good the acceleration ofodern trains is so they don't have to slip coach now.
    700s looking good, not so keen on 377s but they play a very important service so better be grateful for them. It hough 455s were retired but I'm probs thinking of something else, unless this was filmed before that.

    If you ever up north (ish) again I'd recommend dore and totly station (just south of Sheffield main station). You'll get trains down the midland mainline, express and stopping trains to Manchester, as well as the occasional freight service.

      I’m a stickler for quality so I’m glad you like it although I could go further and get a 60fps camera but the file sizes for these clips are *enormous* and I need to keep them somewhere! I have noticed an uptake in viewers recently some of which have no railway knowledge (which is awesome), I’m really happy that the channel has gained a more broad reach recently 😃

      Nope! The Gatwick Express branded 387s were operated by Southern during COVID and until the end of March 2022. Its a little confusing but the short answer is that they used the GX stock for Southern services.

    Are GTR Southern getting more Class 387s cascaded from Great Northern and Class 387/3 from GWR & c2c to operate them on the suburban services and the Class 455 that are to be sent for scrap.
    Maybe Southern should get rid of the Class 313 and to operate the Class 377/3 on the East Coastway Line and West Coastway Line routes.

    @StarlifeStudios Rail Videos How did you know which units trains were formed of if you didn't capture them on video?
    Did you walk round off-camera and check what they were, or is there a website you can check them with?

    • @StarlifeStudios
      @StarlifeStudios  Před 2 lety +1

      Hi Thomas, I can largely obtain the unit numbers from my videos although I also use coach numbers noting down any numbers which may be difficult to see. Its also worth noting that almost everything returns from London so its quite common to see the same set of units return after an hour or so. Great question, thanks for asking 😃
