BR(S) Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I have put together a list of UK railway webcams together with their relevant Realtime Trains pages. The webcams are those that are reliable with good or reasonable views. The Realtime Trains pages load up with the "Around now" time settings on the day they are accessed. For anyone who is not aware of Raildar, this can also be used to track trains: http://raildar.co.uk/radar And a website showing live train movements on a signalbox type map: http://sussextrains.co.uk/ Other maps available at http://www.opentraintimes.com/maps Dawlish (now a subscription webcam): http://www.dawlishbeach.com/wp/ http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/advanced/DWL?stp=WVS&show=all&order=wtt Two cameras now available: the original camera (called the "San Remo" cam) and a new one down Marine Parade ("Blenheim" cam). BRCN and Railcams These websites have now joined forces. With free registration at http://railcam.uk/site/ you get access to the following webcams (make a donation to the website for a few extras): Bolton le Sands Clitheroe Corfe Castle (Swanage Railway) Cramlington Euxton Goole Portsmouth Todmorden Watford York Barking Bedford Flitwick Bishops Lydeard Minehead (Courtesy of the West Somerset Railway) Sanquhar Mobile Cam, with live broadcasts from various locations. Various new cams added to the railcams.uk website and lots of real time signalling diagrams. Edited 01/09/2015: deactivated cams removed; Dawlish info updated; opentimetrains web address changed; railcams.uk info updated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BR(S) Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 ECML camera located north of Newark added to the list. Link to Open Train Times removed as website is sadly no longer operating (http://www.opentraintimes.com/). There is also a new webcam on the MML near Bedford. Details here http://www.brcn.co.uk/m/news/view/MML-Cam-Now-online but I'm not sure of the exact location and you have to donate to the website to get access.

RJS1977 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Not terribly brilliant, but clicking here http://www.reading-travelinfo.co.uk/live-traffic-cameras.aspx Then selecting A329(M) from the right hand column gives a view of where the Reading-Wokingham line crosses the A4 in East Reading.

brianusa Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Its rather a shame the Dawlish Tracker was removed from the live site; it was more convenient that way instead of switching sites. Write up in this months RM. Brian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

apj64 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Hi We only have the one Cam at Barking on Camstreams now but all 4 cams at Barking are available on our site to donators as well as 2 at Bedford South Junction and additionally one between Flitwick and Harlington. Barking Cam1 , Langley mill, and the West Somerset railway cam are available to all members and there are 3 minute previews of the donator cams mentioned above. We would love to be able to make all the cams available for FREE to everyone but the running costs make this unviable. I wont post a link to the site as I am not sure if this permitted but it is mentioned in the original post Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR(S) Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 I wont post a link to the site as I am not sure if this permitted but it is mentioned in the original post Andy I don't see why it would be a problem: http://www.brcn.co.uk/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
