Over the last few weeks the National Rail YouTube channel has been progressively publishing a series of cab ride videos. These were shot on some of the more scenic British lines and are intended to promote leisure travel. The 12 so far published, https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBNf4JyBJvMw0WzkV8ukx3eyA3v2Ai5zf, include the Okehampton, Paignton, Exmouth, Lowestoft and Cromer branches, and parts of the West Highland and Heart of Wales. They are all uploaded in 4K resolution, although unfortunately(?) the soundtracks are "relaxing" music rather than the cab sounds enthusiasts might prefer.

There is also a "24/7 livestream", already linked in the YouTube links thread, which appears to be a continuous loop of some of the individual videos, though only in HD resolution.
