Becoming a Railcam Supporter

All the RailCam Admins give their time freely and together put in a huge number of hours to keep RailCam running and developing as strongly as we it has over the last few months.

However, running a website such as this doesn't just require time, it also needs money to pay the bills. For this, we rely on donations from users who feel that what we do is worthwhile and of value to them.

Costs include:

Web-server hosting

Ad-free streaming for 20+ cameras

Software licensing

Purchase of new cameras, servers & networking equipment

> RailCam offers a selection of WebCams free-of-charge to all users, but as a "thank you" to those who choose to support us, we offer a package of "extras".

> Extra webcams at some of our more popular locations

> Our large and still expanding range of live signal diagrams. These now cover all of the UK (where live data is available from Network Rail), including all of the WCML, ECML and MML

> The Railcam DATA system, which provides accessed to detailed schedules, live data and now TOPS allocations, where available.

To keep things simple, we ask for a minimum donation of £15 per year to become a Supporter.

It should be pointed out that this is NOT a formal subscription. The fact that we are entirely volunteer-run means that we can't offer the sort of guarantees that might be expected from a subscription service, but we do strive to make sure that the Supporter features are good value. The rate of renewals we get suggests that the overwhelming majority see it as money well-spent.
