All sorts or live trackers ... have I missed any?   Which are your favourites?  (examples for WSB» (Westbury - next trains))

Invariably RealTimeTrains at home and when travelling, plus OpenTrainTimes for mapping.
Unfortunately the world ends at Liskeard, and nothing goes beyond there (according to OTT (Open Train Times website)!)  Cry

When commuting (up to about a year ago), I used a combination of Journeycheck and opentraintimes.com to see how my connections at Reading were doing. The latter could be quite useful to check if there was something not yet showing up on Journeycheck that might delay a connecting service, such as a halted freight train on its apparent intended path or (towards the end) an Elizabeth Line train that might be pathed ahead of it.

Likewise, and also https://railcam.uk/ although one has to be a subscriber to access the real-time maps and train information.

Does railcam show live tracking from Penzance to Liskeard, and how much is that annually please?

Thanks

Nothing shows live tracking west of Liskeard as the data isn’t sent from the signal boxes.  Railcam does use approximation data in some locations which is based on manual reports and/or gps reports (that you can see on RTT» (Real Time Trains - website) and other sites), so is no more accurate than that.

I like Traksy. The map gives a veery clear picture of the line ahead, and useful to see why your train is slowing down   due to trains ahead.

https://tiger.worldline.global/ is one of my "go-to" resources. But, is it just me, or is the site not working properly at the moment? I can get the basic headers but there's just the wheel of death where the data should be.

It is not just you - http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=29561.0 ... I am keeping an eye on this.  It could be that the data feed to the site is down, or that a restriction has been placed on access to the data.  I find it interesting that the problem appear to have started at exactly the change from one month to another, which suggests the possibility of a license running out or new terms and conditions being applied and breaking current uses.
