Good U.K. Webcams

NOTE: I could not decide between here and the Trainz Community section of the Forums, but given that this is related to the prototypes of the trains in Trainz, I decided to put it here.

I'm looking for a webcam that is located in the U.K. and here's the list of criteria for the webcam:
1. No subscription fees or membership fees to watch the webcam (basically not have to pay to watch the webcam)
2. No having to register in order to access it (just like some websites that make third-party content for Trainz)
3. The webcam must be LIVE, not updating every x minutes or seconds
4. I'd like the webcam to be accessed via YouTube
5. If the webcam is not on YouTube, I'd like it to be on a third-party website that you don't have to pay subscription fees, membership fees or have to register to watch the webcam (in Trainz, a good example is Trainz Forge, as you don't have to register nor pay a subscription or membership fee to access and download their content)
6. Any advertisements must be when you first start watching the webcam, not interspaced while watching the webcam (i.e. webcam runs for ten minutes, stops, an advertisement, advertisement ends, returns to the webcam)

With that out of the way, I'm going to list some places where I hope there is/are a webcam/webcams, though I'm open to other webcams:
1. Somewhere on the East Coast Mainline (I'm particularly interested in the Class 390 Pendolinos)
2. The Bluebell Railway (fun fact: The Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum and the Bluebell Railway have similar layouts. It wasn't intentional, that's just how it ended up)
3. The Ffestiniog Railway (their 'double Fairlies' have always interested me)
4. The Welsh Highland Railway (their Garratts have also interested me)
5. The Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway (Trainboi1's 15 inch gauge steam locomotive has made me become interested in 15 inch gauge railroads)
6. The Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway (They're the only users of 4-8-2's in the U.K.)
Now if only there were webcams showing the many trains leaving/arriving at London's main stations (Euston, Kings Cross, St. Pancras, Waterloo, and the remaining ones (I believe that there are at least two more, but I can't remember their names)) . . .
 
Unfortunately the best ones are either subscription based or require registration (Railcam is a good example of the latter - a donation is required to access some of the cameras but this only needs to be done once a year) from memory (and the 390s actually operate on the West Coast Mainline - the East Coast one is Class 91s and High Speed Trains (HSTs) from memory)
