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 My videos are also designed as a historical reference for the days of the past and to reminisce about the way things were.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

Superb video 😎👍🏽🎉🎉 Good to see all the Gasworks Tunnel portals open and operational now 😀👍🏽👀
Absolutely EJC! Undoing the work of 1977 😀
@@StarlifeStudios Did You See My Comment?
I feel like the Class 700 is very underrated. In terms of standing comfort it's unmatched!
I haven't been to King's Cross since 1994 but there used to be a sign saying 'Trainspotters must not pass this point'. Clearly that no longer applies...
I’ve been to Kings Cross at least 4 times especially when travelling to York. And earlier this year went to Edinburgh Waverley for a funeral to attend.
Not any more David 😃
London is the best
Great video! You’ve captured a lot of action - well done on seeing a Middlesbrough bound train because I don’t think they run too often!!
King's Cross railway station, also known as London King's Cross, is a passenger railway terminus in the London Borough of Camden, on the edge of Central London. It is in the London station group, one of the busiest stations in the United Kingdom and the southern terminus of the East Coast Main Line to North East England and Scotland. Adjacent to King's Cross station is St Pancras International, the London terminus for Eurostar services to continental Europe. Beneath both mainline stations is King's Cross St Pancras tube station on the London Underground; combined they form one of the country's largest and busiest transport hubs.
The station was opened in Kings Cross in 1852 by the Great Northern Railway on the northern edge of Central London to accommodate the East Coast Main Line. It quickly grew to cater for suburban lines and was expanded several times in the 19th century. It came under the ownership of the London and North Eastern Railway as part of the Big Four grouping in 1923, which introduced famous services such as the Flying Scotsman and locomotives such as Mallard. The station complex was redeveloped in the 1970s, simplifying the layout and providing electric suburban services, and it became a central terminus for the high-speed InterCity 125. As of 2018, long-distance trains from King's Cross are run by London North Eastern Railway to Edinburgh Waverley, Leeds and Newcastle; other long-distance operators include Hull Trains and Grand Central. In addition, Great Northern runs suburban commuter trains in and around north London.
In the late 20th century, the area around the station became known for its seedy and downmarket character and was used as a backdrop for several films. A major redevelopment was undertaken in the 21st century, including the restoration of the original roof. The station became well known for its association with the Harry Potter books and films, particularly the fictional Platform 9¾. Following extensive track remodelling in 2021, platform 10 was taken out of use, with platform 11 becoming the new 10.
Kings Cross is a railfan's paradise
paradise
Lot of action to see at this station
Kicking the video off with my 2nd favourite operator LNER behind my 1st .. the Superior EMR
The best one is Crosscountry, as it allows you to go on one journey without changing from Aberdeen to Penzance, as well as bypass Greater London if going from e.g. Basingstoke to Picc, and they're comfortable. However, the only bad thing is the Class 221 style overcrowding (Super Crowdayers).
That's what let's them down
If they start running... idk 802s or smth and ditch most of the voyager fleet
Great video mate. Trains are running early which is nice 👍
Great filming, Your videos are always the best. Your Photography is Very Crisp!
this is my best station in london
Great to see Lumo, LNER and others that go up the ECML and up to Scotland. Great video again mate
Many thanks Inky Squid! This is one I've had overdue for a while now but it is interesting to compare this to the video I did in 2018 (th-cam.com/video/AnEfpkQywNM/w-d-xo.html)
@@StarlifeStudios in the 2018 video I miss the HSTs
My favorite is Lumo
King's Cross has gone through a massive overhaul. It looks very clean. I like it. 🙂🙂🙂
Great video as always, lots of Azumas👍
Thanks ENC 😃
Amazing video mate I loved it at kings cross when I was last in London n might give it another visit when I'm back in London on the 15th - 17th August n keep up the great work
You're so lucky to see those Lumo class 803s, I've never been to Kings X before but I might when I go on the underground during the summer.
I've actually already filmed all 803s despite them operating for less than a year. I really hope LUMO is a success, we really should have more Open Access operators in this country, far too much of it is a monopoly. Thanks for watching! 👍
@@StarlifeStudios BTW this roblox game called Stepford County Railway, there is a station called Llyn by .the Sea and is basically a Stepford version of Kings X.

Some Great footage from a great station
I just went there this evening
Great video"
I love the station kings cross it’s such a great station with all its history and types of trains that run on there it’s just fabulous 😃
4:34 Wait hang on… how come that the 2C32's service just departed 13 minutes late?
You can beat London Kings Cross! Been there plenty of times not Necessarily on train spotting occasions
Kings Cross definately still has its appeal 😃 The station is harder to film at than pre-upgrade due to the platform end fences but its great to see all three gasworks tunnels in use again!
I love king cross
I got the train from here on Thursday and I went up to York
Nice
Nice one as always 👍🏻
@@mrorangeaventra4683 Why do you kept on saying that you’re first? It’s soo annoying
@@mrorangeaventra4683 or you can just comment. No one except you really cares that you're first
@@mrorangeaventra4683 bro I’m sorry but no one cares if your first so stop replying to other comments like that because it makes no sense
I think you people need to stop complaining and just watch the video ok. Or go elsewhere please.
@AndrewG1989 but it’s true. People that says „first” are annoying.
Great video
Summer school holidays are out and childish comments are already been flooding in. Why can’t you people just stop spamming this TH-camr’s videos with such garbage.
Many thanks Luis, I'm glad you enjoyed this weeks video 👍
19:49 23:25 Did you know that Great Northern Class 387 Electrostar they’re merged to Gatwick Express train in King’s Cross station?
Pls do haggerstorn its my local station
Welcome aboard this Stepford Express service to...
Hi there I've been to London Kings Cross on the train over Christmas I went on Grand Central from Mirfield.
23:00 nice driver
I would love to meet this driver and thank her in person. The Great Northern drivers are all great spirited 👍🏻
Good old drivers...

0:59 I think the staff fitted a tracker on you in this video.
Not that I am aware of!
@@StarlifeStudios Oh Nevermind.
Good video star ⭐️
What is that big black board for at the end of the platform at 0:20 that blocks the view?
These boards are common at stations where there are a lot of platform starting signals which are next to each other. They are used to block the view in-between the signals to ensure that the driver only views the correct signal for their platform rather than get confused with the adjacent one. There are also examples of this at Paddington and Waterloo. Good question Robert 😃
@@StarlifeStudios Ah interesting thanks!
How do you get onto the platforms, is there security or something as it is a very busy station?
Please make a video on trains at Ramsgate .
What are our thoughts on Lumo eh?
Great railway video as always, will the next video be in the adjacent London St Pancras or at another station?
I didn't film any more videos on this day Imperialist.. although the next video will also be in London. 👍
@@StarlifeStudios what's the next station in London?
I like London because it's fun. I wish I'm going on the train to Cambridge
When can you make videos of trains at Bristol Parkway
Can you do one at st Pancras international
you should do thirsk or Northallerton
London Kings Cross has seen lots of changes including the reopening of the 3rd tunnel to relieve the pressure of trains coming in and out of London Kings Cross station. And of course new trains including LNER Class 800 & Class 801 Azuma. Hull Trains Class 802 Paragon, Lumo Class 803. Thameslink Class 700 and Great Northern Class 387/1 and the Class 387/3 that have been cascaded from GWR and c2c to work alongside with the Class 387/1.
Also can I ask do you still accept some people who comment rubbish like “First” or “I’m first”. Or does it seem not to matter. Still I do like your content as always. 😊
Compared to when I last visited, the station is lovely and refreshed since the upgrade.
Regarding first comments, I do not mind people posting first as long as that's the end of it. A lot of the comments I've been getting have spun off into an argument about who was first and that's not really something I'm looking for on this channel. I love answering all comments but a small minority are polluting the comments for their own self gain. I have restricted the use of the word 'First' and I will review my decision again next month.
@@StarlifeStudios Perhaps you should restrict it because it's getting very silly.
I have restricted it and I have also increased my spam filter. The issue I have is that all my good comments end up in this pool as well such as when talking about First Group or First Class. I have some users (such as yourself) approved for all comments but I obviously can't allow this for everyone. Thanks for your support.
No worries 👍
_Where is Inspector Sands?_
Llyn by the sea REAL?!
this is technically Llyn-By-The-Sea
Not an scr comment💀😅
Next is Edinburgh
Starlife has been to Edinburgh
Me too
Hello
Hello Hello! 😃
Could you do I Brington video
Hello FoxyGaming, I’m planning Brighton (along with some other South Coast videos) soon. Hopefully before the end of September. Great suggestion 👍🏻
@@StarlifeStudios if you're doing Brighton what other stations on the South Coast are you doing?
@@maimadha I want Lewes. The Southern Y as I call it.
it looks the same as llyn by the sea in scr roblox
Quite a lot of trains on strike day
I don’t there was rail strike action back in March. Can’t remember 🤔
This video was filmed in March prior to any strikes. Filming on strike days is risky business and is only normally worth it for freight. Thanks SFC! 👍
🎉😊😊 ❤❤❤ ❤
When did Azumas go to Glasgow central
One up to London and one down to Glasgow each day 👍
@@StarlifeStudios Like a parliamentary service, right?
which do you prefer, paddington or kings cross?
I prefer Kings Cross. The east coast in general has a lot more variety than the great western. 👍🏻
Last time I went here, I rode the class 91 for the first, last and only time. It was a good replacement for the class 180 I was supposed to go on, but was cancelled (ironic). I also went on an IET recently as well, and all the criticism it’s been getting applied on my trip. Uncomfortable seats, terrible suspension. It was good, but not better than the old train that used to run the route.
Thanks for commenting AgentBri_ish, I agree with you about the Hitachi IETs. Its pretty clear that the old trains (91s and HSTs) were designed for premier travel with comfort at the highest priority and the new ones appear more budget and economy class. At least the LNER Azumas have a Buffet!
@@StarlifeStudios yeah, although I went on a TransPennine Express class 802. What do you think is the most comfortable train you’ve ever travelled on?
@@nowapproachingyt Good question, seat wise, I'm a big fan of Virgin Trains Pendolino First Class but I also liked LNER HST First Class. I haven't travelled much in Europe although I am told their standard experience is better than the UKs. For standard class, I like the original 170s. Yourself?
@@StarlifeStudios this is probably a very weird answer, but the old bus seating on the class 142 pacer was actually unusually comfortable with the padding. Of course, the seat pitch being low, bad suspension, very springy seats and awfully loud (although I do like it) engine ruins it. I’ve never been in first class before so I don’t have anything for that, but if I actually had to choose a proper answer, I’d say that either the GWR mark 3 coaches or the class 185 refurbished seats are the best I’ve sat on because they have good pitch, reasonably good padding and helps maintain good posture. I just hope life doesn’t become sitting on ironing boards in the future.
@@StarlifeStudios IETs are the worst intercity train
22nd
Sad to see KGX full of japanese crap
Will never be as good or the station sound as nice with HSTs roaring
