Manually-controlled barrier with obstacle detection level crossing on the Anglia route (ELR ETN).
| No trains in the next 30 minutes. |
On today’s timetable, Attleborough crossing is predicted to be closed for about 4 h 27 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 56 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 7 minutes. Freight paths scheduled “as required” — most don’t run on any given day — aren’t counted here; when one does run, the live timeline above shows it.
Closures cluster around 07:53–08:53 in the morning and around 14:08–15:08 in the afternoon. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Attleborough is a manually-controlled barrier with obstacle detection crossing (MCBOD) on the Thetford–Spooner Row line (Anglia route · ELR ETN). An obstacle-detection system scans the crossing and confirms it is clear before the barriers lower automatically. Forecasts here combine the working timetable with live train-movement data (and live signalling where the crossing has it), so they reflect actual running including delays and freight — though they can still be wrong when the network is disrupted.
We score this page against what actually happened on the railway — over the last 7 days that covered 220 trains through this crossing.
99.5% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 97.6% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±16s (9 in 10 within 223s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
