TfL are so pleased with their 'new train set' they have set up a
webcam to cover the ELL bridge installation at Shoreditch High St.

I haven't been able to view this at all and I can't work out why. The
thing buffers up and then I just get a small blank screen.

At first I thought the system might have not been working but it's
still like it today. My computer is relatively new and I wonder if
I'm missing an all-important plug-in or something. Anyone have any
thoughts?

I've had the same experience this weekend until a few minutes ago, when I
went to the TfL site once more. At first I got the small blank screen like
you, but as I scrolled around the page I noticed that the video had burst
into life.

However, it's NOT A LIVE FEED. It's a repeating short clip of about 30
seconds taken apparently from the cabin of one of the cranes, i.e. very high
up, above the bridge, which itself is still suspended above its resting
place. You can't actually see the latter, as the camera never pans down far
enough. Otherwise it pans around rather too fast and with too narrow a
view.
