🚄 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 My videos are also designed as a historical reference for the days of the past and to reminisce about the way things were.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.
INTRO HAD A REDO, its great mate! What website or app did you use to do that, its really cool.
As for the trains: lots of 800s, nice, never knew GWR had 387's, learn something new every time. Good to see no diesels there as electric rail is sadly the way now. Also nice to see Heathrow express.
Thanks Inkysquid, I use Adobe After Effects for my intro/outros. I have a video from 2016 at Paddington and it’s a stark difference to this one, electric is king now! ⭐️
Solution for Oxford to Paddington or longer services: create the Class 223 (Like the Meridian, but bi-mode).
For replacing the 387, put a *377.*
@@TheArkamedBat oh did I get 387 wrong? My bads
@@inkysquid4 No. I say that GWR should replace 387s with 377s modified for 110 MPH.
@@TheArkamedBat oh sorry, I thought you were correcting me ha ha.
London Paddington isn't the same without the legendary Intercity 125s
yep
Completely agree BritishTrainsRBX! 😞
@@StarlifeStudios Sure the new IETs' have better acceleration which improves journey times but the seats are very uncomfortable alongside the bright lighting and it's louder when it's on diesel mode
My sentiment entirely,though when the HSTs were introduced in 1976 I said Paddington wasn't the same after the Westerns and Warships were displaced!
Thanks for watching everyone!
This video includes a NEW intro, what do you think of it?
Have an awesome Sunday 😃
New intro is awesome!
I do love the GWR Trains, especially at London Paddington
Agreed mate
can’t wait to watch this video
I hope it was worthy of your viewing time Zuuu1! 😃 Many thanks.
@@StarlifeStudios it was
Shame there are no HSTs at Paddington anymore, but nice to see the new Crossrail 345s and Heathrow Express 387s. Great video!
Thanks Intercity 225! I miss them so much, the Network Rail HST does visit monthly but it tends to be only evenings.
Lov’d that intro ♥️ Your videos are becoming more amazing! 🎥 🍿 💯
Paddington, also known as London Paddington, is a Central London railway terminus and London Underground station complex, located on Praed Street in the Paddington area. The site has been the London terminus of services provided by the Great Western Railway and its successors since 1838. Much of the main line station dates from 1854 and was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
Paddington is the London terminus of the Great Western Main Line; passenger services are primarily operated by Great Western Railway, which provides the majority of commuter and regional passenger services to west London and the Thames Valley region as well as long-distance intercity services to South West England and South Wales. It is also the terminus for the Heathrow Express and TfL Rail services to and from Heathrow Airport and Reading. It is one of 11 London stations managed directly by Network Rail. It is situated in fare zone 1 and has two separate tube stations providing connections to the Bakerloo, Circle, District, and Hammersmith & City lines, and from 24 May 2022, the Elizabeth line.
The station has been perennially popular for passengers and goods, particularly milk and parcels. Major upgrades took place in the 1870s, the 1910s and the 1960s, each trying to add additional platforms and space while trying to preserve the existing services and architecture as much as possible. Paddington was first served by London Underground trains in 1863, as the original western terminus of the Metropolitan Railway, the world's first underground railway. In the 20th century, suburban and commuter services appeared at Paddington as the urban sprawl of London moved westwards. Despite the numerous upgrades and rebuilding, plus damage sustained in particular during World War II, Brunel's original design is still recognisable.
Nice to record here prior of the arrival of Crossrail
Thanks Mohid, CrossRail will eventually significantly reduce the use of the terminus so this was really the last time I could visit whilst all 345s terminated here. 😃
Great station and I love GWR trains
BEST INTRO
Thanks Joel, glad you like it! I’m trying to focus on the great content instead of flashy intros - after all, you all watching for the trains not the intro 😃
@@StarlifeStudios I know but your train content is still as good as when the old intro was still there
Love this station, come from Plymouth so always the one I arrive into when travelling to London
Such a fantastic station, I too have spent a lot of time either at or travelling through this station. Many thanks for sharing your thoughts, much appreciated 😃
Great video "
London Paddington: Home of GWR
Its a little strange but overall Reading actually has more GWR trains!! 😎
That’s an interesting fact although it does make sense since Reading has a bit more platforms than London Paddington
And it gets all the services from Paddington as well as the additional terminating trains from Newbury, Basingstoke and Redhill/Gatwick Airport
@@dominicwalker1999 Yh Reading has more trains overall because including south western railway Cross country TfL terminating And London Paddington only has TFL and Heathrow express on the concourse
Hello sorry I’m late, Really nice video I went on a GWR trip yesterday from Paddington first class
No problem RailLife10! I'm glad you made time to watch today's video 👍
Great video mate ⭐️😎👍🏽 I haven’t been there since 2016 😯 What a silent, soulless place it is now without the familiar throng of the HST engines idling there 😢
Thanks EJC! So quiet, I miss it so much.. I wish I had come here in 2018 when the transition from HST to IET was happening. I’m afraid this video explains what has become the norm 😞
@@StarlifeStudios it does..no atmosphere ... I can’t stand the Hitachi AT300’s in all their forms...boring, soulless trains for enthusiasts, uncomfortable to travel any distance for passengers...dreadful replacement for the HST 😢🇬🇧
To be honest, with the AT300s, I think they could have been a great replacement had the interiors been spec’d correctly and I think exactly that will be shown in the new EMR 810s and Avanti 805/7s. As we are beginning to see very clearly now, the DfT can not be trusted to run the railway, they have no interest in passenger comfort and are happy to run a reduced, sub-par service to tick the box. Have you heard that the GWR HSTs will be replaced soon? There is supposedly going to be a Powercar reduction in December. 😞
@@StarlifeStudios agree with all of that, especially the DfT, but I personally still dislike the AT300’s as there were far better designs submitted for the IEP project in 2011/2012, but the DFT chose Hitachi 😊👍🏽 Yes the industry now thinks the HST is unsafe after the Carmont land-slide last year 🏴🤔👀 After 46 years of mainly sterling and safe service, the HST is being used as a political scape-goat for shoddy drainage works at Carmont which caused the derailment 😢🇬🇧 Very sad indeed...BR’s once flagship train which helped save our railways from further cuts in the 1970’s is now being treated with contempt.
@@StarlifeStudios reduction in December and all must be withdrawn by around this time next year
Excellent railway video as always
Thank you very muc Imperialist! 😃
I’m excited for the Elizabeth line to open even though I live in the West Midlands.
I have grandparents that live in London and they might let me ride on the new cross rail service.
And I’ve only been on 2 lines: the Victoria line and the jubilee line. Four if you include the DLR and London overground.
Great video as always👍
Thanks ENC 😃
Love this station keep it up star
Thanks Z3ficcial, I certainly will 😃
Awesome London Paddington. A lot of history made here such as the first passenger service of the ironic InterCity High Speed Train (and last), to breaking records to certain areas and to the introduction of the Hitachi Trains.
Stella footage and mixed bag. Oh, has to be said; If you travel along the GWML through to Reading, there are now quite a few TFL Rail stations now along there :-)
I saw the first train depart on the same day.
Please do the Elizabeth Line when it’s up and running from Tuesday 24th May. I will be going to London in the summer to ride on the Elizabeth Line.
I certainly will Andrew! I am particularly interested in visiting the new build stations but also Abbey Wood since there is some crossover with Southeastern. 😃
@@StarlifeStudios Yeah maybe that could also happen.
nice video i could imagine if the 172 class trains were on the london paddington train to worcester line but although they are'nt
Fantastic
Thank you.
Grand Central Test 180 used to stop at Reading then go back to Kings Cross i think
Great video mate 👍
Thanks Arnold 😃⭐️
Can you do an underground special for the queen’s jubilee at bank
I imagine that would definitely be a special one for the rail network.
I don't currently have any arrangements for the Queen's Jubilee although London is expected to be very busy so I will probably avoid it. I will keep it open just incase though 😃
@@StarlifeStudios 👍🏻
1:00 That’s the platform I filmed from for my Paddington video and I also filmed from platform 5 at 2:05. Great work man!
I was there 8 hours ago.
Awesome Railways means British Tech
6:30 It's the elizabeth line not tfl rail
Do trains At Cwmbran South Wales
You missed the London Underground S stock
I think there is 3 days until Elizabeth Line idk
2 days from today
I'm too exited

多くの日立の車両がイギリスで活躍しているのを見れて嬉しいです
そうそう、日立の列車は現在、英国の列車旅行の非常に重要な部分です.見てくれてありがとう！
cmon They gotta add a something for another sleeper... 😞😢 for people to travel to Plymouth and Penzance but it takes 6 hours
My local station
Hello StarlifeStudios Rail Videos, did you ask permission to record Trains at London Paddington or no? Did you have to sign in something as well 🧐? Marvellous video at London Paddington Railway Station and nice intro/outro by the way 👍 :)!
Hi Lorenzo, the short answer is that I signed in. For Network Rail operated stations, you need the staff to make you an account including taking your ID and picture. I also made the staff on the platform aware of what I was doing and my authority. Most important thing is to obey their rules, keep well back from trains and be well mannered. Hope this helps you 😃
@@StarlifeStudios Ok thanks! This really helped me 👍:)!
Did you see the two huge drones there that day near Westbourne Park?
Epic! :)
Hi starlife! What information website do you use for train info?
Hello! I use a mixture of Realtime Trains and Traksy for my info 😃 Thanks for watching!
@@StarlifeStudios Thanks! No problem 🙂
Amazing Video You Should Come Down To Devon And We Could Do A Devon Ranger Together And Video Train's At Every Station We Go To
We Can Meet Up And A Video If You Would Like To Do That
I have a Devon video coming soon and hope to expand on the South West later this year. I'll let you know when this will be if you would like to meet up. Thanks.
@@StarlifeStudios That Would Be Nice If We Can Meet Up I Really Like's Your Video's Mate
@@StarlifeStudios what's the station in Devon are you going to visit?
Hello
Hello! 😃
Fantastic video! I would Also like to come at this station! During this period that I am in London i would like to try! Concerning the entry, if I enter and then i get it out with out taking any train, the credit of my Oyster card will decrease anyway!
Don't worry! Platforms 6 & 7 (the ones I'm on) don't have ticket barriers so you won't have to touch in to get to this viewpoint. Regarding credit, if you are planning on staying at stations for over 110 minutes (the max amount for Oyster), I recommend buying a travelcard, it will be cheaper in the long run. Enjoy your visit 😃
@@StarlifeStudios but if i go for example to St Pancreas or to Euston for 30 minutes, how many credit Will decrease on my Oystwr card ?
So the Oyster system is a little confusing regarding this, I’ll try to break this down for you. The Oyster system is designed to stop people trying to avoid their fare and one of the ways they do this is by charging people who entered and exit at the same station. In your case, for 30 minutes you would be charged the minimum pay as you go fare (which is usually about £2.50) but this varies depending on the area but is a good rule of thumb for zones 1 to 6. Hope this helps.
@@StarlifeStudios thank you very much! While I am in London I would like to do Paddington, St Pancras and Euston or Waterloo
