If you’re into railways, you’ve probably heard of Railcam. We’re huge fans ourselves, their live trackside cameras and diagram maps are absolutely brilliant. Over the years we’ve heard from loads of our customers who use their UK Departure Board alongside Railcam, and the feedback is always the same: “It’s like having a real station control room at home!”
We thought it was about time we wrote about how well our boards and Railcam work together, and why this combo makes the ultimate railway setup.
A Quick Look at Railcam
Railcam is packed with live web cameras from stations and railway lines across the UK, plus real-time track diagram maps so you can follow trains as they move. It’s hugely popular for a reason – there’s nothing quite like watching the railway unfold in real time from your screen.
What Our Boards Bring to the Party
Our UKDB boards show real-time data from National Rail, London Underground, buses, trams, heritage rail and more. Every board is a fully featured, plug-and-play system with authentic station announcements built in. It’s the real thing, just like the boards you’d see at the station, only now it’s in your home, office or display space.
Why They Work So Well Together
With Railcam, you’re watching the trains live. With our boards, you’re seeing the departure information those trains are running to – in real time. Together it’s a complete picture:
- Watch a service appear on your board, then see the train itself on Railcam.
- Use Railcam’s diagram maps to track movements and compare them with your board’s live data.
- Create an immersive, almost control-room feel for your home setup, model railway or exhibition.
