🚄 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 My videos are also designed as a historical reference for the days of the past and to reminisce about the way things were.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
Do you like the Class 323s? Thanks for Watching and Have an awesome New Year! 😃🎉
I sure do
I do!
Yes, from their wacky and wonderful motors
I do
I like the 323s
1:35 I love how one train is departing and another one is coming the other way
Epic video starlife! Not long left for 323’s in the Midlands now, glad you managed to get some footage before they’re gone.
I’ve been on a new 730/0 unit working with west midlands railway yesterday because that’s the unit that’s taking over the cross city line and be the 323s replacement
Welcome back to the West Midlands.
Brilliant stuff mate.
Thanks. I really enjoyed this one. People may think the 323s are common but, like the HSTs, I’m conscious that one day soon, they’ll be gone..
@@StarlifeStudios They're being replaced by 730's so they will be gone soon
the 323s have such a cool and unique sound when accelerating, thank you as always for your nice videos :)
Glad you like them and thank you matzk0 for watching 😃
Great video to end 2023 on, Starlife! I absolutely love the sounds the Class 323's make - definitely my favourite sounds for units along-side the 465/9's. Really good views down the line both directions there even despite the overbridges looking south, and definitely a treat to see the same HST consist that would go to work the 'Pines Express' tour just under a month later. Happy new year!
Thanks a lot, South East Level Crossings & Trains! I'm on the same page as you there, 465/9s are incredible! Very easy to get caught out from the south as the line speed is quite fast with very little time. Dont worry about the Pines Express, just like you, I was out on that day too 😃
I was looking for a station to batch film with Bromsgrove, this station is the solution, so thanks. Have a wonderful New Year and I hope you hit 20K.
Glad I could assist you Spectrum, I did investigate Bromsgrove but the platforms are only *just* long enough for a 6-car 323 which makes it a little less appealing to me. Barnt Green isnt *that* bad if you like running between platforms 😃 Have fun!
Some of the Class 323s are to be transferred to Northern in 2024 as of when the new West Midlands Railway Class 730/0 Aventras have entered service.
And the Class 730/2 to enter service some time this year that London Northwestern Railway have ordered to replace the Class 319 and Class 350/2.
Amazing video as always Ross! 👍
Thank you very much Sir! 😃
@@StarlifeStudios Anytime! Happy new year!

As a request, please do Barnes (London)
Hi Class158Lover, I went to Barnes in 2021, you can watch it here: czcams.com/video/IC7flBCrR-Y/video.html
Longbriidge is a part of the city of Birmingham actually starlife!
Can you do trains at Winchester soon?
One question form Germany: why do so many trains in the UK have a yellow front?
Since the 1950s, UK legislation has required all trains to have yellow fronts. However in 2016, Standard GM/RT2131 was updated to allow trains which have bright headlights to not have yellow fronts for the first time. All older trains were still required to follow the old rules. We now have several new trains which do not need them but the vast majority still require them. Hope this helps.
@@StarlifeStudios thanks!!!
Awesome Video Ross!
Question: are you going to film at Chafford Hundred?
Edit: love the 323s in your video!
Chafford Hundred only has one platform and is a busy station on the c2c network
Ross can you do Nottingham station its my childhood station sorry its so rainy at Nottingham station but please.

The next Trains at Speed will be published in Summer 2024. 2023 was my break year 😃
