If you\u2019re into railways, you\u2019ve probably heard of Railcam<\/a>. We\u2019re huge fans ourselves, their live trackside cameras and diagram maps are absolutely brilliant. Over the years we\u2019ve heard from loads of our customers who use their UK Departure Board<\/a> alongside Railcam, and the feedback is always the same: \u201cIt\u2019s like having a real station control room at home!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Quick Look at Railcam<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019s hugely popular for a reason \u2013 there\u2019s nothing quite like watching the railway unfold in real time from your screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Our Boards Bring to the Party<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019s the real thing, just like the boards you\u2019d see at the station, only now it\u2019s in your home, office or display space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why They Work So Well Together<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With Railcam, you\u2019re watching the trains live. With our boards, you\u2019re seeing the departure information those trains are running to \u2013 in real time. Together it\u2019s a complete picture:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
