Is Live Camera from Crewe Station, UK of interest?
Love to watch the British trains... thank you for the idea of following with railcam live observations!Is Live Camera from Crewe Station, UK of interest?
There are different types of YouTube media. The ones that are actually 'live' have a 'live' notification in a red box or 'live' next to a red dot... Like below:Not a RailCam......but I've been watching these Driver-Eye videos of the Liverpool-Manchester-Leeds-York area I've visited several times on trips to the UK. Its steeped in rail and industrial history and archaeology with viaducts, tunnels and canals......and an area I hope to get back to once this thing is over with!!
Well said... many of us railfans are jealous and wish there were more trains here!Those who've been to the UK already know this, but the big eye-opener for North American railfans viewing these British videos is the staggering number of passenger trains they have - even through smaller communities. Long-distance trains, regional trains, local trains and commuter trains. As a passenger, if you miss a train there chances are there will be another one along shortly - not the next day (or 3 days later).
I've been here (York) -- on a trip from London to Edinburgh, I stopped over for a few hours to visit the National Railway Museum, which is very close by.This is a UK cam I have enjoyed
Absolutely love those Driver-eye videos. Have you seen the ones from the Scandinavian far north??? Not to be missed!Not a RailCam......but I've been watching these Driver-Eye videos of the Liverpool-Manchester-Leeds-York area I've visited several times on trips to the UK.

It looks like there's only one track. When I was there in 1985, it seemed like the line was double tracked. I also did the walk along the promenade along the tracks from Dawlish to Dawlish Warren.Dawlish Beach, on the busy south coastal mainline. Lots of passenger trains:
And something you always had to be mindful of.....the lefthanded running. On my trips to the UK.....there were a couple of times I saw my train stopping at the opposite platform from where I was standing! And when walking....at an intersection look right before stepping out!There are two tracks. Westbounds use the track closest to the water.......
