🚄 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 My videos are also designed as a historical reference for the days of the past and to reminisce about the way things were.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
Surbiton railway station is a National Rail station in Surbiton, south-west London, in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. The station is managed and served by South Western Railway, and is in Travelcard Zone 6. It is 12 miles 3 chains (19.4 km) from London Waterloo[note 1] and is situated between Berrylands and Esher on the main line.
It has been considered one of the finest modernist stations in Great Britain[3] and is a Grade II listed building.
Used to go to Surbiton a couple of times a year to visit my gran and grandad who lived at Tolworth. Out of the station and across the road and catch the 601 trolleybus, later the 281 bus. These were the early to mid 60’s when steam was still powering the express trains from Waterloo to/from Portsmouth. These trains used to shake the platforms as they thundered through.
Must of been amazing to see the old steam trains 🚂
@@duainesimpson274 certainly was, also travelled on mainline steam from Herne Bay to London Victoria several times in this era.
@@michaelkeen5010 Incredible! Awesome
Great video! 😄 Looks you saw everything SWR has to offer at Surbiton! Nice to see the 455/456s before they go and the 158/159s sound amazing at speed.👌
The driver on 2L46 got you.
That was a good twitch when he/she sounded the horn.
Certainly brings back memories.
I remember the days of the 73s, 74s, 33s on mail, newspaper, parcels and boat trains. Surbiton is one of the best (in my opinion) stations. Just love the art-deco style. Likewise I like the stations on my old home line, the Chessington branch. Just a shame they've been left to look so shabby. Still a reasonable variety of classes pass Surbiton, and nice to see the expresses belting through.
Interesting to see a number of services made up of two 456s, I wonder if they have problems with the 455s Vossloh Kiepe AC traction equipment after their refit?
Would have been nice if the 442 had been returned to traffic instead of ending up in the scrap yard.
Nice video work.
It was damn loud! I was hoping for a 456 horn as well but it just didn’t happen. Regarding the 455 traction motors, I’m not actually sure, I would be surprised if it was any worse than the DC motors, but, then again if they were so good why hadn’t the 456s been considered? I’m too young to remember the 73s but I can imagine a day of non-stop CIGs and slamming doors. It’s a real shame about the 442s, another victim of COVID.
It’s at 5:50 if your curious
Thank you for a wonderful Sunday SW rail video 😃 ⭐️🌟⭐️🌟💫
No problem Duaine 👍🏻
Also, thanks for doing this great videos. They make me feel I am on the UK seeing trains on my own because I've never been in the UK.
No problem! Thanks for watching Joel. I’m glad I could bring a piece for the UK to your screen 😃
My initial thoughts:
Before watching this video I figured the main trains would be the Class 455, Class 456, Class 458, Class 444 and Class 450s
SWR Don’t do a good job with refurbishing trains, with only a few refurbished trains in the video, but I guess that’s understandable since a lot of trains are going to be leaving pretty soon when the Class 701‘s arrive. I don’t like the Class 455 and Class 456 because they’re old.
This is the SWML, lots of trains to see
I like the 159s, 444s, and 450s. So the passing trains and a few stopping trains.
This is a VERY busy station.
Often heard: “The train now approaching platform 2 doesn’t stop here.”
Great video
1. the 450s and 444s are staying with SWR and most of them haven't been refurbished and 2 no this isn't actually that busy compared to Wimbledon and Clapham junction only a few stops down the line
@@n1thmusic229 the trains were busy. He got multiple in one shot!
Thanks for your feedback Ben, as you said when the 455/456s go and the 701s take over, the vast majority of the SWR fleet will be in the correct livery. I really enjoyed filming here, staff were friendly and understanding, good weather, good views, nothing to fault 😃
I have just found this video to bring back memories, after I transferred from Waterloo station, I worked at Surbiton station for a few months in late 1965. In those days the stopping electric trains were either BR or Bullied 4 Sub units, or the express Pompey units to Portsmouth. All of the West of England express passenger services passing non stop through Surbiton were either hauled by a Bullied or a BR standard class 5 steam locomotive. For some reason, at about 11 am, one down steam hauled express train each day, stopped at Surbiton, the rest thundered through at 70mph or more. Strange that GWR franchise trains are now painted in similar colours to the old green Southern livery, and southern franchise trains now painted in rainbow colours. Thank you for this video.
1 station away from my former local station, nice video
Oh god I feel bad for you ever having to live in berrylands
@@beta.3984 What's wrong with berrylands, I liked it there
@@n1thmusic229 not all of berrylands, but some of it is very knaf, sorry if this is offensive
@@beta.3984 off course it isn't
The 450s are looking great today. I really like them.
Which livery do you prefer Alice? I’m still a sucker for the Stagecoach South West Trains livery!
@@StarlifeStudios I prefer the new SWR livery.
@@StarlifeStudios I like the stagecoach livery
@Alice Unicorn me too.
Great train video.
Thank you very much!
Great catch spot on .
Thanks Medway Railway!
@@StarlifeStudios Your welcome and Thank you very much for replying to my comment. I would love if you could take a quick look at my page and any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Sure. I like what your doing, I’ve never really been (or yet to be) a railway modeller. However, I like what I see on your channel. My feedback would be to keep sticking with the modelling video instead of the real life content. Your 1K subscribers (congrats!) have most likely reached you through modelling and they are likely to want more of what made them subscribe. This is evidenced by the fact your modelling videos seem to get more views overall than others. I would also recommend you make more videos about how to get into modelling and tips to get started(?) it seems like your welcome 001 video was a hit! That’s my honest feedback, have a great day Dave! 😃
@@StarlifeStudios Thanks very much and sub you too.
Very colourful trains
Great Video Starlife!
Excellent railway video as always
Thank you imperialist 😃
Nice 👍🏻
Nice one! A good station for those SWR units, and the race at 5:05 is epic.
Yep! Lots of fast decisions had to be made. In terms of SWR stations, it’s pretty common to get crossovers but more common the further south you go. Keeps you on your toes 😃 Thanks David.
If you stand at Platform 2 from Brookwood station, races / crossovers are very common.
What was your favourite train from this video? 🚆
See my initial thoughts comment
@Xstgamer412 & BPL_North I agree
All of them
Every single train
444s and 450s
Very well presented video again 👍🏻
Thanks a lot Ben 😊
A very enjoyable video !
Nice video,
You know all the locations the trains are going to and from.
Of course! Its a key part of my channel 😃 Thank you for your nice comments.
Great video'
Very cool video! I like class 455 the most! Just curious, have you already recorded in Plymouth?
Im early!!! Just wanted to say the way you explained the class of trains and other information in the description were so helpful. I also like the way you put the info of each train. Keep up the good work. U have some good looking thumbnails as well lol
Thank you Fahad, I’m known for showing information for services in my videos and I’m really happy with the thumbnails. I honestly put more time into the thumbnail than I do the video!
@@StarlifeStudios Keep up the good work soon enough you'll start getting more subs!
@@fahood350 Its not all about the Subscribers, I'm just glad people enjoy and comment. I honestly cannot thank you and everyone else enough :)
@@StarlifeStudios ah it's alright m8 no worries and I like how ur target is not only subs, u kept the enjoyment of ur audience in mind which u rarely find nowadays
Y'KNOW I LOVED IT 😊
Your so lucky you got all those tones a lot of the time SWR dont even honk their horns apparently cos they are not allowed to
3 times in a row! 5:00
Very fine suburban trains 👍
Many thanks Ally!
This was a really good video btw can you do trains at godalming
Loads of Sprinters,and Passing Trains
3:08 horn
Great video once again, keep it up! Also, may I ask what camera you use to film these videos? Thanks in advance 🙏🏼
Hello, thanks for the kind comments and support. I use a Panasonic HC-VX1 for recordings.
Do the Alton services skip Clapham junction?
Bit of a late response, but they do stop at Clapham J. (Correct me if I’m wrong, please.)
Sometime can you trainspot at Hamptons court. I dont live at the place or visit i just remember when i went to London Waterloo and caught a train to hampton court and i remember the station and that was the only train journey i made in England other than the underground. I remember a funny time when my auntie and my cousin noticed the orange bars inside the train and they said ‘this is the underground’ to annoy me. I said back that there probably thinking of the overground. Also Whats your favorite train on the south western railway fleet?
And also I've noticed that class 444 doesn't stop at many stations
5:21 Huh? 2L46 is on platform 2? Was it a platform alteration?
Yes, it was did you head the announcement in the video saying that it'll be calling in platform 2
I wonder why 1L44 was 31 minutes late?
Could you maybe do Blackfriars?
Hi FusionZenFlame, I have been to London Blackfriars in 2020 th-cam.com/video/duFsuub3c4A/w-d-xo.html Since the rolling stock/operators haven’t changed recently, I won’t be returning for a while.
The Class 455 and Class 456 are scheduled to be replaced by the Class 701 Arterios sometime later this year.
Yes but knowing what "scheduled" means it'll probably be next year
Indeed.
4:40 You have a rate catch. This service hardly ever stops at Surbiton.
London Waterloo to Alton always stops there?
@@edentenn1310yes Alton services always stop at Surbiton
What?
Well whatever about the south western railway
So what can it be?
@@drradhikamisro Well i don,t know
so?
Please iwant to be in this train
