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.

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.  Grin

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
