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 My videos are also designed as a historical reference for the days of the past and to reminisce about the way things were.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

Apologies for the short notice on this weeks video! This was not actually supposed to be released today but since I had an error on another video, I had to make a decision. Thanks for your support 🙂
Grantham is the birthplace of Margaret Thatcher
It’s always a great pleasure to watch your Videos!! No matter how old or new 😃
Counting down the days till 'The Deltic Deviation' on May 7th. The charter train, starting from Finsbury Park and then two further calling points at Stevenage and Peterborough will whizz through Grantham on its way to York, Durham and Newcastle and return. I will get up close with the trains on the East Coast mainline including new operator, Lumo. An Azuma train to Inverness is featured here and speaking of Inverness, the same operator of 'The Deltic Deviation' and 'The Electric Scot' in late January returned to Scotland with 'The Clansman' railtour from London Euston just this past weekend. Grantham was the home town of the first female Prime Minister between 1979-1990. When I was born in 1981, she was in power.
I will have to look into the Deltic Railtour! I won’t be travelling on it but it would be awesome to film it at speed 😃 I wonder why it won’t start from London Kings Cross? 🤔Have fun!
@@StarlifeStudios It would be great if it started from London Kings Cross. Would not rule out last minute alterations, few days before the planned date. May 7th is the date, Saturday after the first May holiday.
Great vid, u know at 8:45 would have been a good pic
There were a couple of good shots in this video that I could have used such as Lumo. But in the end, I had to use the Mk4 DVT since it was almost identical to the video thumbnail I used 5 years ago!
@@StarlifeStudios oh serious. Did u do trains at that station already? And yeah the mk4 is one of the best trains.
@@rashadbraithwaite2853 Yep, you can watch it here: ruclips.net/video/8DWnBDdhiFk/видео.html
@@StarlifeStudios 🙌🙌🙌. Your train vids are one of the best!! Fr
Love the ECML. Very diverse rail fanning here in particular
I can’t help thinking that it was better before the Azumas though 😞 I suppose you can see a fair variety of Hitachi units here though! Thanks Maz😃
I'm excited to see what lumo brings and whether it will start a trend of more environmentally friendly trains.
Gonna miss the 225’s !! I’m so glad LNER still have a few in operation … Another awesome vid !! Thanks Sir 💯❤️ ((Miss the oldies)) 😢
225s aren’t going for a long time
Great video 🤩🎉👍🏽 I see ‘bad practice’ in place on the ECML compared to GWR with the Hitachi AT300 units 🤔 It looks like LNER drivers still think they are driving 225 sets with a 91 because lots of northbound and southbound services with Azuma’s have the front driving end pantograph down with trains being propelled by the rear pantograph i.e. LNER drivers do not appear to be swapping driving end pantographs on a trains turn around like GWR drivers do on the WR 🤔 most odd...not good practice either, as one pantograph will wear out much quicker than the other one which is hardly being used 🤨
Thanks EJC! Interesting point you made about pantographs. I believe that the reason for use of the rear one on the ECML is so that drivers have time to drop the pantograph if an obstruction on the OLE is seen. This is the same practice as on the WCML. I'm not sure why its not the case on the Western Region..
@@StarlifeStudios ah I see...interesting policy there? 🤔 The only main difference between the GWR Catenary and the ECML Catenary is the GWR system seems far more robust with big, chunky, solid supports (very much like the WCML) and big cantilevers & gantries for the wires, unlike most of the ECML (which was wired between 1988-1991 as cheaply as possible under BR using a different system) which would and often does, make it more prone to problems with OLE equipment 🤨
Grantham
The heart of Grand Central trains.
Just a shame there are no GC HSTs anymore 😞
@@StarlifeStudios yes that would've made the East Coast mainline extra HSTic
This is one of the many points where trains that don’t stop always pass at 125 MPH. Sometimes it feels like there is a lot of speed bumps on this line! (Not here)
I’m pretty sure the line speed is 100mph through the platforms, Newark is 125mph though
Class 800s have a weird bogie layout. Some cars have normal bogies while some cars have inbound bogies with wheels on the outside like on the aventra trains.
Anybody know why?
So the normal 'Full' bogies are motor bogies and the inbound 'slim' bogies are trailer non-powered coaches. Hope this answers your question RR.
@@StarlifeStudios i see. Thank you 😃👍🏻
I would like Trains at Haddenham & Thame Pkwy.
First here as I have notis on! Grantham is great on the ECML
#NotificationClub #Starlife 😃
Nice lumo catch at the start! I went on a service myself on Thursday and it was good. Btw by any chance do you think you may be able to film London Underground trains at tube stations?
Grantham railway station is on the East Coast Main Line in the United Kingdom, serving the town of Grantham, Lincolnshire. It is 105 miles 38 chains (169.7 km) down the line from London King's Cross and is situated on the main line between Peterborough to the south and Newark North Gate to the north.
Two secondary lines diverge from the main line north of Grantham: the "Poacher Line" to Skegness and a branch line to Nottingham.
Its three-letter station code is GRA.
Even though Grantham is mostly served with LNER, East Midlands Railway and sometimes Hull Trains. Grantham is a nice place to visit and the Cathedral is massive. Maybe LNER could add more services such as to Harrogate, Scarborough, Cleethorpes, Grimsby Town and Scunthorpe. And Lumo Class 803 and Grand Central Class 180 Adelantes just goes right past.
A top quality video from your good self. As ever a HUGE thank you 😊
Thank you too Love Five ⭐️😃
I live in a village called ancaster, a brief 15 minute drive or 10 minute train ride from here. Tomorrow I'll be hopping on an LNER azuma for the first time and going to London for my birthday!
Great video mate. No freight trains showing up
I’m afraid not, there was a tamper shortly before I started filming. Thanks Arnold 😃
Great video mate 👍
Nice one, I passed through the station 1 day before this was recorded
Awesome! I love the curve and straight sections of this station but requires a lot of concentration to not miss anything coming round the corner 😃 Thanks Lord Everything.
Very unusual to see Two Class 800s or 801s hooked up together. At 4:36 why would they do that?
Request for next Sunday: Newark Northgate
OMG it started with Lumo flying through!
Do trains at st ives
