🚄 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 My videos are also designed as a historical reference for the days of the past and to reminisce about the way things were.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.
THANK YOU
No problem at all 👍🏻
My two-year-old son took a train from Luton to Market Harborough this summer and has been banging on about the "purple train" ever since. He watches this video about once a day and absolutely loves it. Maybe not the target audience, but a dedicated fan nonetheless. Saying a big thank you on his behalf!
The power plant here makes it very ominous. Good video.
Thanks, the constant water sounds are very soothing 😃 This was a rainy day too but the platform canopies helped to avoid any major issues.
Wow!!! Freight-Tastic East Midlands Parkway station is. You definitely got more than what you bargained for for variety :-)
You got that right! 😃
What a lovely variety of DMUs there! I suggest coming to Basingstoke station soon. A mix of 66s, 70s, 450s, 165s, and 159s. A nice mix. Splendid video though. Keep it up! 👍
Thank you I needed some where to catch a train to Leicester
Nice vid! Fast trains as well!
Thank you very much Trains 806 UK!
Nice Video, as always! 👍
Excellent!
Thanks Transport Legend! 😃
Excellent railway video as always
Amazing video as always Starlife! 👍
Glad you enjoyed it ENC! Have a great Sunday.
Great video!
I think that East Midlands Railway don’t need anymore Class 170 Turbostars and are to replace the Class 222 with the Class 810 Aurora Bi-mode trains that are coming into service from next year.
Amazing! Simply amazing. Use to travel the midland main line route from London to Nottingham way back in the good old 90’s era… And I still remember those iconic power plants. It signifies the half way point to Notts Lol 😃
The 90s! Wow! I didn’t travel on this route very often but I remember the free tea on Midland Mainline and the screaming HSTs.
@@StarlifeStudios missy those HST’s when they use to dominate the country. Just like the good old steam engine’s 🚂 ❤️
Very nice! 🎉
Thank you! Cheers! 🙂
Awesome video
Brilliant railway action ❤
the 222s need to be added to TSW3
Well would you look at that, What used to be my everyday station on the way to work! And the Midlands! Loving those trains!
Nice video!
East Midlands Parkway railway station is located north of Ratcliffe-on-Soar on the Midland Main Line in the East Midlands of England. It provides park and ride facilities for rail passengers on the routes from Leicester to Derby and Nottingham. It is also the closest station to East Midlands Airport, some 4 miles away, but without public transport link.
The station lies in south-west Nottinghamshire, close to the boundaries with Leicestershire and Derbyshire, between the stations at Loughborough, Long Eaton and Attenborough. When it opened, there was a little-used shuttle bus from the station to the airport, but this ceased not long afterwards. An hourly minibus service was re-introduced in 2015 but later withdrawn. The main station building and the 850-vehicle car park are to the west of the line, opposite Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station. Road access is via the A453, which provides a link to the nearby M1 motorway.
R.I.P the HST 😢
Looks like a nice station with the cooling towers behind. Also do you edit the colour/quality after filming or is that what it looks like after being uploaded on to the computer? I hope I don't seem nosy, I am trying to decide what new camera I might buy.
EMR has gone a long way since i first rode with them
Cool vid man! That thumbnail confuses me. An east mids 180? Just doesn’t seem right.
I love the power station in the background, is it still in operation??
Yep! Its Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station which is currently the only coal-fired power station left in the UK. Its scehduled to close in September 2024.
Hello, please can you do a plane spotting video. I know this is a channel about trains but please can you do one at Birmingham airport
great video thanks is that right that from 2pm there is not any passenger trains till nearly midnight
66616 should have had the red livery 😄
This station is meridian central haha 😆
Wow I never knew there was a EMR regional
I have to say quite a few trains have some problems with wipers - erratic movement, wrong alignment, Meridians especially ;)
As much as the Meridians are regarded as the best of the worst compared to the Voyagers, it’s a bit of scabby fleet. None of the coach numbers match and the interiors are all dirty with thread-bare seats. I imagine the drivers feel the same way about the driving experience! The Turbostars EMR have aren’t much better, there is a LOT of variety.. such as southern.
Very Interested
what a great ending 😉🤣
I thought you'd like that one! 😃
@StarlifeStudios coincidentally my new office will be just a few miles north of EMD at Toton 😎
@benGBRf a move to DB? 🤣
@@StarlifeStudios nope... Going to be Operations Manager for GBRf in the East Midlands
@benGBRf Nice! Congrats on the promotion, I’m so happy for you! 👍🏻 Can’t wait to see what you do at Leicester.
Can you train spot at stations with a non advance ticket? I once got off at Ely not only to train spot but also to catch a different TOC (EMR to Cross Country) with an off peak (day) ticket
Nice what’s the video
Nice video. What camera do you use?
Hello, I use a Panasonic HC-VX1.
@@StarlifeStudios I see, thank you
For some reason I thought that powerplant was demolished 😄
Nope! Still fully coal powered and one of only two left in the UK. Thanks DC89 😃
What colour/video settings do you use on your camera? Mine looks so much different to yours haha
I use a slightly increased Saturation and Vibrance preset which (I believe) more accurately shows the real life situation. I could increase this even more like some other RUclipsrs have but sometimes the world looks pretty dull 🤣
@@StarlifeStudios Oh nice is there a setting where this preset is or is it configured manually in the settings?
Nice Video Ross!
Quick Question. Does East Midlands Parkway station have ticket barriers?
It does not. Staff are friendly too. Only downside.. cafe was closed on the day I went 😟
As long as you had fun Trainspotting!
Much prefer EMT and their old Blue/Orange liveries.
What Video Editor do you use?
Starlife uses Cyberlink Power Director to edit the videos
Are you coming back to the west midlands at some point soon?
Oh yes 😃👍🏻
@@StarlifeStudios yayyyyyy
@iliketrainsandtrams2762 Where would you like me to visit?
@@StarlifeStudios mabye sandwell & Dudley?
Pls do Loughborough I love emr trains nice video
Starlife has been to Loughborough
I know I just want a new one
OMG EAST MID BUT PLS DO NOTTINGHAM NEXT
Is this station and the trains that serve it always that dead?
The trains that serve this station come from Nottingham, Derby and Leicester so they are usually pretty busy. The station itself has always been a bit of a white elephant - it isnt located anywhere near residential properties so its only here to serve the airport.. but there isnt even a bus link to the airport. Hope this helps Jacob!
@@StarlifeStudios Ah ok cheers!! Yea just seemed like especially the Grimsby Leicester ones all seemed empty. Does seem a bit of a pointless station like even the London trains nobody was getting on!!
Oh look a EX SOUTHERN 170 lol
It sounds like you were under sustained rifle fire.
I believe this is from EMA and is a sound used to scare birds away from the runway. No StarlifeStudios’ were harmed in the making if this video 🤣👍🏻
Pls Tell me!

This is really quite a useless station, not even having a connecting bus to East Mids Airport! It should be combined with Long Eaton which is quite close
Completely agree, this station has lacked a good bus connection since it was made. If there was a free metro or air link which linked the two, I think this station would get used much more.
