🚄 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 My videos are also designed as a historical reference for the days of the past and to reminisce about the way things were.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. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Bristol Temple Meads is the oldest and largest railway station in Bristol, England. It is located 118 miles 31 chains away from London Paddington. It is an important transport hub for public transport in the city; there are bus services to many parts of the city and surrounding districts, with a ferry to the city centre. Bristol's other major station, Bristol Parkway, is a more recent station on the northern outskirts of the conurbation.
Temple Meads was opened on 31 August 1840, as the western terminus of the Great Western Railway. The railway, including Temple Meads, was the first to be designed by the British engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Soon, the station was also used by the Bristol and Exeter Railway, the Bristol and Gloucester Railway, the Bristol Harbour Railway and the Bristol and South Wales Union Railway. To accommodate the increasing number of trains, the station was expanded in the 1870s by Francis Fox and again between 1930 and 1935 by Percy Emerson Culverhouse. Brunel's terminus is no longer part of the operational station. The historical significance of the station has been noted and most of the site is Grade I listed.[1] In Britain's 100 Best Railway Stations by Simon Jenkins, the station was one of only ten to be awarded five stars.
Thirteen platforms are in use, numbered between 1 and 15, but passenger trains are confined to just eight tracks. Most platforms are numbered separately at each end, with odd numbers at the east end and even numbers at the west. Platform 2 is a bay platform at the west end which not used by passenger trains and there is no platform 14.
Temple Meads is managed by Network Rail. Most services are operated by the present-day Great Western Railway, with others by CrossCountry.
Bristol Temple Meads is still a lovely station and with lots of trains that do serve the station. I haven’t been to Bristol Temple Meads but I will do sometime next year.
A high quality and entertaining video as always 👍
Thanks for your kind comments 👍🏻
Lovely video!
Thank you Leigh 🙂
I visited Cardiff Central recently
awesome video as always :)
why were there no trains to/from Parkway? route closure?😅
I’m not sure. I don’t remember there being any engineering works since CrossCountry were going through to Bristol Parkway!
Great video! I do really enjoy the GWR trains
Epic quality film as always, superb and enjoyable to watch. I have a station request if that is okay? Could I request if you could try and film at Harrogate and Knaresborough please? At Knaresborough, you can get some epic shots of trains crossing the River Nidd at Knaresborough castle :-)
I have considered Harrogate before during COVID but I will definately give it a go next year. Knaresborough is an interesting one since it only really sees 170s now but youve peaked my interest in the line overall. Thank you Ricky!
Great video!
Op video your the best CZcamsr🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Nice
Great video, what camera do you use?
I use a Panasonic HC-VX1.
How did I miss this
I'm not sure Gemma! Theres a new video EVERY Sunday at 12pm!
Very nice station and nice video
Absolutely! Brunel’s exquisite design still working great today 😃
I can't understand why such an important transport hub doesnt have electrification, but the smaller Parkway station and Wales do?
The Great Western Electification was very odd. I believe this was a cost cutting exercise but wires to Bristol Parkway was the next obvious stopping point. Time will tell whether Swansea gets wires before Bristol and further west.
Hi!
Hello! 😃
What a lovely video plus can you do blackpool or ormskirk?
Starlife, you inspired me to do trainspotting vids, Thank you, i watch your vids every day from about 3 yrs ago
Thank you Train Lover! I am thrilled to hear that you have also felt inspired to create videos. It’s certainly testing at times both for travel and editing but I hope you agree that it’s worth it in the end 😃👍🏻
Your vids are worth watching
@Trainlover8889 Thank you. A lot of CZcamsrs just go for the large stations but I try and do a mix of small and large stations since I honestly believe variety is more important than anything else.
I've only started trainspotting a week ago and been to some very (VERY) good trainspotting places
But I can't do it all the time since school
Amazing video as always👍
Thanks ENC, I really enjoyed filming this one 👍🏻 A great end to a fantastic great western session.
Possibly dunfermline city?
Can you do Cumbernauld next?
Btw I love your vids
Hello Stephen, I haven’t filmed at Cumbernauld yet but I will put it on my list of ideas for next time I go to Scotland. Thanks 👍🏻
Thanks, it’s where my sister lives
Could do one at new street also Nottingham aswell please.
Hello, I filmed a video at Birmingham New Street less than 10 videos ago! You can watch it here - czcams.com/video/KwahdA8iS-Q/video.html. I plan to go to Nottingham in 2024. Thanks for your suggestions.
Very nice railway video
Nice video Starlife. My important question is Where is Trains at Speed 2023
Unfortunately, I have made the decision not to make one this year. I have made one every year since 2020 and this is a hugely popular series. I wanted to give the videos some space since most of them still get views today! Thanks for your understanding. 👍
@@StarlifeStudios thats fair enough. I mean with me, 'the more views the better' i hope everything goes well. Still making good train videos as usual
