Just discovered this webcam. Excellent view of the main line along the sea wall.

EDIT: This opening post has been edited to provide a link to the new Dawlish webcam, re-sited after the owner of the property, where the original camera was located, sold up.

I've seen references to the cam before and never been able to find it.

There is also one at Starcross too

Could you provide a link to the Starcross one ReWind? I'm struggling to locate it online.

A very high tide due this morning around 0830. Already breaking over the sea wall at 0710.

Thanks for that bobm. It's a controllable cam as well!

But, I'm getting greyed out areas. Most importantly when trying to look up and down the main line.

I got that too.  They seem to clear after a while.  I tracked the 07:41 from Penzance to Paddington between the two cameras!

I spotted the location of the Dawlish webcam today. It is fixed to some trellis on a rear garden patio of a property that is right next to the footbridge at the London end of Dawlish station.

I know: I saw you waving, so I waved back.  ;D

Seriously? Because I did wave at that webcam around 1215.  ;D

Does anyone know what has happened to the Dawlish cam?  Not been able to get on line with it for the last 10 days or so.  Can't find anything on the t'internet about it.

Temporary feed back on now.

God watching the Dawlish cam. Realy made me home sick :(

Camera was pointed out to sea for the Red Arrows display.

Been watching the camera today to see how the bad weather is developing.  In the last couple of hours it has moved to show more of the sea than the railway.  Not sure if that is deliberate or the wind caught it!

EDIT:
Of course as soon as I posted that it swung back again!  Interesting to note normally when I look at it there are 20-30 viewers, at the moment there are 640!

It appears to be offline - I wonder if it has been washed away!

railcam.org.uk (http://railcam.org.uk/) have explained that their host in Dawlish has sold the property to which the webcam was attached. They are, according to their Facebook page, working their socks off to find another location in Dawlish for a webcam, and hope to have the camera rehoused sometime soon.

Meanwhile, as is the way with the internet, here's a picture of a cat... caught on another lineside webcam:

Remember folks, railway trespass is not a good idea. Cats have nine lives, you only have one.  ;D

A new Dawlish sea wall webcam has gone live this evening.

And it's got sound too  8)

This rather fun webcam has gone behind a pay wall. You will see this message now:



I was hoping to see some spectacular live pics...but there we are.  :(

I guess we will never know, but I wonder how many will pay those prices to look at it.

I've had it streaming throughout today.  :)

For what you are getting in terms of quality, I think it's a very good price.
