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 My videos are also designed as a historical reference for the days of the past and to reminisce about the way things were.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

Excited for this! Have not watched it yet.
I'm saving this video to watch later
Not sure why but the class 745's at speed sounds like old style Formula One car, it sounds truly epic. Terrific video of lots of variety in such short space of time :-)
Yes it does the clickity clack sound but misses one tone
that's the sound of fresh grinded rails, it will fade away with time
Those are the wonderful sound of the traction motors
Amazing video again
I love 720s now lol
I like the way they look but they don’t have much character in comparison to a 321. They’re very very similar to the 345s though and that gives a reduction in variety on this route. Thanks Tiger Trainz.
@@StarlifeStudios yeah not much can beat a 321 on the GEML
Excellent video!got a good freight action at this station
Nice
Great video.
A few key thoughts:
1. We’re back on the GEML again with weekday service and the Class 720s
2. Good sight of Ex-Northern 321s and 322s.
3. Good to see the Class 720s on all routes now. WOW they have good acceleration
4. WOW that is a big, enormous freight train catch at 4:25
9:13 train sneaks onto the GEML thinking “they won’t see me”
Well the 720s are now most rarest on the West Anglia route with no units on Hertford East runs as of yet.
Class 745 is a music train
Absolutely Cool Gamer Guy! 😃

Nice video at Witham Railway Station StarlifeStudios Rail Videos! 👍🏻:)
Great video as always 👍
Wow amazing
Quite like the 720s - they do seem differentiated enough from 345s and other TfL aventra stock. Did brief train spotting at Stratford and they do give a feeling of very weighty speed when they take off. The 321s that everyone seems to love aren't too bad either, to be fair: they do quite fly along.
Awesome video of railfanning as always
Amazing
Great video at witham! I’ve never seen such long class 720s seeing as GA love to put 5 coach trains no matter what
I’m not exactly sure what’s going on. Even before any GA stock replacements, 8-car 321s were present on almost all services. I filmed some yesterday (video coming up) and most were 5-car 720s. The new stock is definitely the majority now 😞 Thanks Rosh_Buses 😃
Top video as always. Miss my old units 😪
The 720s are a bit dull though! I prefer a good 321 😃 Thanks Ben!
@@StarlifeStudios couldn't agree more 👍🏻
Awesome video love it thank you for posting this thanks buddy I’m enjoying it
No problem at all TFL Rail. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I always love filming on the GEML and hopefully many more to come in 2022! 😃😃
@@StarlifeStudios 👍👍
Great railway video
Fantastic video
Thanks Lord Everything 😃
This station in Essex is on the Great Eastern main line, east of Shenfield, nowadays the terminus of Transport for London services (TFL). Class 321s operating in this video. I think they were the original rolling stock of the Stanstead Express. I used to stay in a residental home called Cardfields as a school holiday every summer between 1991-95 in Hatfield Peverel, down the road from Witham.
Ahh! You will like the station I went to next then uhegbu 😃
Since when did 720s sound nice? Still second to 321 tho :(
The 720s do sound good and they’ve grown on me. But I agree with you that a 321 is still better 😃
@@StarlifeStudios Yeah, shame to see them go. Brilliant video mate
Many thanks 😉
Glasgow Central?
Great video mate. Witham is a good station. Can you do trains at Grays my local station
I really like Witham. Its on a bend which provides some good angles from London and on a good day you will see lots of freight. Grays is a bit far for me and C2C are very aggressive for filming but I will see what I can do for you 👍🏻
Nice Video! I have gone out of Witham before over to London Liverpool Street via Chelmsford I think was on a 720 do the 745’s stop at Witham anymore? Or is it just 321’s and 720’s
The Class 321 set to be replaced by the Class 720s as some of the Class 720s have already entered service. But I think that Greater Anglia should keep some of the Class 321 Renatus as back up units despite more Class 720s are on order with a total of 133 Class 720s. Also why is Greater Anglia using Stansted Express Class 745/1 on the London Liverpool Street-Norwich service.
Also nice to see the former GA Class 90s in Freightliner livery.
In this video, 321s were certainly still the majority. However, the balance has now shifted to the 720s and they are now the majority (albeit by a small amount!) GA seem to struggle to keep the 745/0s on Norwich services but I’m not sure why. Thank you Andrew 😃
True. Greater Anglia could operate a 10-Car stopping service from London Liverpool Street to Norwich. And could introduce a new Liverpool St-Lowestoft service using 2x Class 755 4-Car.
@@AndrewG1989 would love to see that! 755 on GEML?
@@AndrewG1989 I do love the Idea of a London - Lowestoft service! It would be cool if they introduced a London - Peterborough service via Ipswich too!
Wow
What camera do you film with and do you use a tripod? thank you
Hi Natasha, I use a Panasonic HC VX1 for recordings and it is completely free hand with no tripod. Hope this helps and thank you for watching! 😃
This is my suggestion. Could you now start to focus on maybe South South West South East or even South Coast lines so Bognor Regis is my suggestion 😀
Thanks for the suggestion Mohid, I would love to do exactly that. I dont think those 313s have got long left and I've wanted to visit the south coast for a while. I will certainly try and make it a reality for you!
@@StarlifeStudios your the best bro hope to see it!
next
I think Planespotting better
I was first yesss
