I'm aware that the SWR Sprinters are possibly the best diesels on the entire British railway network, but it seems kind of wasteful to see some of them powering off towards London Waterloo instead of simply turning around or heading off to Reading. It's nice to see 444 026 rocking the old colours. I shall forever be nostalgic for the SWT liveries now that all of SWR's Desiros have been repainted. On the other hand, it's kind of odd to see some of the old orange info boards combined with the newer, harsher white ones. And also kind of odd to see the mix of 165s operating on the Reading-Basingstoke line - why is one of them 3-car? Were there so many 2-cars out of action that they (presumably) drafted a 3-car over from the (I think) Reading-Gatwick route?
SWR has recently published a report stating that they would like to replace the 158/159s by 2030 with bi-modes but I agree that the diesel is completely unnecessary - but as a Ex-BR fleet, they still feel modern! As a RUclipsr, I really liked the SWT livery as it’s brighter for my thumbnails 😃 As for the 165s, I’m not sure!
Good variety! ❤ I once rode on 158888 (like in the thumbnail) and 2 other 159’s and I rode it to.. Basingstoke! A station I would recommend is probably Wrexham General. Overall, you’ve earned a new subscriber!
I really liked this station, the vegetation was building up on the western end but it wasn’t too bad. You get some decent notice time but as I’m sure you can tell, I still got caught off guard with a few passing trains! 👍🏻 Thanks Andrew!
@@StarlifeStudios Well i mean to going when Voyagers does not being replaced by Hitachi units because this is an historical replacement so I mean do a video like Voyagers to Holyhead, Shrewsbury, Birmingham New Street, etc… Please comment this reply
@Ovalo-Railways thanks for your thoughts, I plan to go on an evening rush hour so hopefully I will be able to meet your requirements. I will be visiting north wales soon.
@feStudios I mean you go to London Euston and make videos of Pendolinos, Voyagers, etc... please comment this reply (And also do a Midland Pullman *HST* video)

Good suggestion

@@smorkeyyy9845 Thank you for your kind comments 😃
Very good video as always. Keep up the good work!. And for a video idea maybe Alton? But your choice. Love seeing the class 165s 450s 444s and 159s ❤
I would love to see trains at Wimbledon! You would get good variety (Thameslink, SWR, Trams and District Line)
I didn't know GWR can run on electrified tracks on SWR
Edit 1:36 I CAN'T BELIEVE CLASS 125 INTERCITY IS RUNNING

Cool
1:01 TRAIN RACE class350 vs class 158
Awesome video dude
Thanks for the visit!
Been to Basingstoke once. I still like the Class 444 and Class 450 Desiro and Class 158 & Class 159 DMUs. Very nice station as well.
I really liked this station, the vegetation was building up on the western end but it wasn’t too bad. You get some decent notice time but as I’m sure you can tell, I still got caught off guard with a few passing trains! 👍🏻 Thanks Andrew!
True.

Great Vid Mate, mind doing trans at Richmond?

Beautiful video as always!! What editor do you use on your videos?
I use a mixture of CyberLink PowerDirector, and Adobe after effects. Thanks for watching Jacob!
Ok thanks and no worries!!
One question can you do a video of Trains at London Euston 2024 (And nice video Starlife keep like that!)
I plan to visit London Euston once the Voyagers start to be replaced by the Hitachi units. Hopefully that will be this year! Thanks for watching 😃
