The busiest crossings today: where the road waits longest

All 1655 level crossings we list, ranked by how long the road is expected to be shut between six in the morning and ten at night on today's timetable, passenger and freight together. It is the same forecast that runs each crossing's live page. These are predictions, not measurements. Freight paths that only run when needed are left out, because most do not run on any given day, and the timetable changes daily, so the ranking moves around.

Worked out for Thursday 15 October 2026. Every crossing is on the map, the top 100 are in the table.
