Sorry that the title isn't that clear but that's the best way I can describe it lol!

I did do forum search but couldn't find, but I'm looking for the website that had a live map following an EC train up and down the country, represented by a little steam train and headcode.

If anyone can remember the link that would be great!

No, because Great Western don't have on-train WiFi provided by that supplier.

Here's a link to the original thread : EC onboard map.

That thread might answer a lot of the more obvious questions, such as the difference between watching the progress of the train you are actually travelling on, using the feed supplied via the onboard wi-fi, and watching the progress of a pre-determined set, using the data for that set via the public internet.

I'm not sure that link works any more when you're not on a train. It's been stuck in the Bounds Green depot for months!

Currently sitting at Crown Point depot, Norwich!
Must be in some kind of GPS kit which has switched from EC to GA.

Just checked it and was going to say that, however it seems to be doing 0.2 MPH is that an equipment error creeping in.
