I,ve just noticed that all of the Jam Cams, provided by BBC London,

fault'. Most of these cams have been kaputt for years but you would
get the occasional day when you could check the tunnel northern
approach.

If it's any consolation, all the jamcams in the Hammersmith area have also
been removed from the BBC site, just at the time when it would be useful to
see the effects of the Hammersmith Flyover closure.


They also get switched off during demonstrations etc. in London. The
page says Transport for London has turned them off for "operational
reasons". Why they can't just put that the truth - that the police
asked for them to be turned off - beats me.
