Stunning video again Starlife!! Never seen such heavy rain in a trains at but it definitely added to the atmosphere of the video!! Good to see so many 465s going strong!! What a brilliant catch of the 2 convoys going side by side!!
Thanks Jacob! I did contemplate halting the video but I was fortunate to still be covered by a canopy so the rain’s effect was limited. The 465s are the mainstay of the Southeastern fleet, it’s great to see so many even if they are common. Glad I caught that double double, especially with 69009 😃👍🏻
Catch them while you can.. I've heard that the GN 387s will eventually cascade to SN and then that *could* push the 465/9s out of SE. Watch this space.
Hi, I Would like to request if you could go to the least used station in the county of Tyne and Wear, Manors (Ecml) Just North of Newcastle station literally a 2 minute train between them!
I think that Southeastern are to retain the Class 465 and Class 466 Networkers for at least another decade before they are replaced by new trains. As they still are reliable trains. And Southeastern to inherit the last remaining Class 707s from SWR.
You were incredibly brave to have conquered the storm and win. Strange consist of the class 466's in the 465's sandwich lets say. Brilliant spotting session you had :-)
I’m sure like you, I’ve spent my fair amount of time in the pouring rain waiting for trains! I was fortunate that the canopy wasn’t that bad of a position to stand in to capture what I needed to. Since the 465/9s were declassified, there seems to be a lot more of these strange 466 combinations - it’s great to see though! 😃
As I have said before, I’d love to. Last time I tried to film at Barking (2021), I was told to leave since it’s not in C2Cs policy to allow trainspotters. If anyone can assist me with this, I would like to retry.
@@StarlifeStudios c2c Is owned by Trenitalia, i made trainspotting all days with Trains by Trenitalia in Italy and i never have a similar problem , so Is strange
@@StarlifeStudios is it just me or does it seem like loads of the 465/466s have graffiti on, maybe a sign that they don’t want to upkeep them as being retired?
Amazing video Starlife! The title sure doesn’t lie 😂 hope you client get too soaked in the rain, also I’d really appreciate if you’d trainspot at Market Harborough! Thanks in advance Trew!
Thanks TheTrainiac, I dont mind the rain on my person too much, there are ways of not getting completely soaked. However, the camera lens is another story! I think its fair to admit that I cleaned the lens after every clip in this video 😃
@@StarlifeStudios I don’t mind the rain myself, gives some nice shots and stuff, the only thing I worry about with that is my phone getting damaged while recording with it. But other than that, quite nice
All in a days work Jonathan. You dont get to choose what weather you get but I can absolutely put my all into making the best of the circumstances. There was meant to be Network Rail test train in this video as well.. but it was cancelled!
I didnt go to Edinburgh Waverley (not to film anyway!) in 2023 but I plan to hopefully the next time I go to Scotland. I expect this will be 2025 now. Sorry to disappoint you, Scotland is veryyy far from home and requires a lot of planning tigeyy.
hi , can you get access to the platforms without paying? Reason is I'm hopefully down that way in the summer and a mate of mine drives the C700 through Dartford so was going to have a quick meet up while he was at the station
I didnt notice it at the time! I'm not sure on the specifics of this unit but I filmed it in the other direction at 20:00 as well and had the motors isolated there too. I'm told some of the 465/9s (BREL Motors) are struggling for parts and this one of the reasons SE wants to withdraw all the 465/9s and 466s.
Another good train video 📹 👍
Thank you 😃👍🏻

@@StarlifeStudios Glad you held on as you got some other good freight action!
Gotta love that formula 1 sound 😅

@@StarlifeStudios Yea when I next in London was looking at going St Johns! Wonder what GN will replace them with?
Great double double light loco action, that was a rare catch to get both sets through the station at the same time.
It certainly was! I’m thrilled to have caught it despite the dull weather 😃 Thanks Spectrum 👍🏻
Thank you so much for doing that on my birthday 👍👍
Getting soaked with my camera on your birthday, my pleasure. Hope you had a nice birthday! (I know it was a while ago!)
2:02 best bit.
Cool video. The rain adds to it
I’m glad you enjoyed! It was a pretty dull day overall. Thanks for watching!
Great video well done!
Brilliant video at Dartford Ross. Plenty of freight trains going out & about 👍👍
The Bermuda Triangle of trains. Dartford must be on par with some of the busiest 4 platform stations in the UK! Thanks Arnold 😃
Nice my local station
Great video

I got a cold yesterday because of the rain but your video is a nice guess of sun, cloud and also rain.
Trains in the rain makes a great video, glad you didn't stop your filming! 😊
I love these vids star life! I’ve been watching Ro yewrs now!
Thank you! You are a star ⭐
One of the few channels that can see a lot of trains in UK ❤ always watching your videos from South Korea !
Thank you! Greetings from the UK! 🇬🇧
Yesssssss!!!!
Hi Starlife it's me, Ovalo I just wanna say real quick if you can go to Potters Bar that will put me very happy
I will try and film at Potters Bar soon. I can’t promise when but I’ll look into it.
Fantastic video as always!
Cool

Good video, i love the station of dartford. i think that barking Is a good busy station that can be in a future video

It does!

Trew!
As much as filming in the rain is just brilliant, you also get a bit soaked. Anyways, good video lad, well done

I agree, sometimes the rain gives you some sparks too! Damage is a risk with this hobby, all you can do is decide what you think your device can take.
@@StarlifeStudios Yeah, but it’s a worthy risk in my opinion
Looked absolutely Soaking at the start. Hope you didn't get too wet filming.

Simple the best 💯
9:22 third rail strike with a flame
I wonder why that empty-to-depot 376 was running nearly 3 hours late(!)
The wonders of franchised railways means we will never know why!
Maybe he was really constipated and had to stop at a station to take a dump
Nice Video & Thumbnail! Request: Weymouth
Class 465s and 466s are the *BEST*
Unusual to have so many 10-car consists with the 466 in the middle, though!

Hiya Ross!
Great video!
Just wondering, will you be doing any more videos at Edinburgh waverly?
If not thats fine 😊

gee how long have the trains been running through to luton,and how long would that trip take
hi , can you get access to the platforms without paying? Reason is I'm hopefully down that way in the summer and a mate of mine drives the C700 through Dartford so was going to have a quick meet up while he was at the station
Hello starlife, Can you try and do orpington or tonbridge next? Thanks. PS. Love video! ❤
Those stations are way too popular. I think Sevenoaks would be nice to see on Starlifes channel.
Great idea! I will try and make this my next Southeastern video! 😃 Thank you.
Really loved this video, i love the style you use for your videos! Just out of curiosity what camera do you use, looks crisp as anything
Thanks for your kind comments! I use a Panasonic HC VX1. I try to be subtle and avoid harsh zooming. Glad you enjoyed it 😃
when will there be Uk trains at speed 2023? :D
Please do high speed passing trains spotting u will get more views and subscribers
At 31:33 906 motor was not working. Is that normal? Or did southeastern just disable it
I didnt notice it at the time! I'm not sure on the specifics of this unit but I filmed it in the other direction at 20:00 as well and had the motors isolated there too.
