This is the other main one that I use. Mostly because it's the station I'm modelling :)
Another one:
Then there's Shinagawa for the bullet trains:
Pete - with thanks to Dave Fossett for finding them all in the first place.
The Euston webcam was running when Railtrack were doing a lot of work on the station a couple of years ago, presumably to show the public how it was getting on, it moved around occasionally but usually provided a good view of the station throat. Unfortunately it hasn't been working for a while
These are OK, but are there any more streaming video cams like the first one Pete showed us?
The message from Tessy contains these words:
That one's been dead for a while. It was put in while the track was being remodelled, and has now been removed. Some of the others are showing an old picture and are obviously not working during the winter.

What's the webcam fascination? I'm afraid TV leaves me totally cold, so an image that changes once a minute is for those with little else to do with their lives.

The message from "John Turner" contains these words:
I share your views on TV, but I shove a webcam picture in the top corner of the screen (Tehachapi can be good for that, or Llanfairfechan roundabout on the North Wales Coast camera site) and get on with playing Carmageddon...

Many of the webcam links don't work, or want you to download a java application that doesn't seem to work with my Mozilla Firebird browser. The Japanese streaming video cam works just fine with Windows Media 6.4. (It's pretty foggy Thursday at 07:05, no trains in view.)

Update Firebird to Firefox.
I've been watching container ships going through the locks on the Panama Canal this evening, and some railway activity in Vancouver - all as a background to doing some word-processing/editing
The 08:30 express came in, the fog is clearing and it's getting windy.
Where? One link is titled . . .
Forth Rail Bridge - the famous Scotland rail link between Edinburgh & Dover (also, the18th green at The Home of Golf at St Andrews!) - RESTORED
Must be using the wcml then
Some do work though - worth trying and saving for future use, beats gazing out of the windows, well my window at any rate
