On today’s timetable, Bainton crossing is predicted to be closed for about 1 h 28 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 37 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 3 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.
Longest closure so far today: 3.8 min (09:05–09:08, 2 trains), timed from trains actually seen on the signalling wire: the window edges use the same per-type margins as the forecast, since barrier positions aren't in any feed we can read.
Closures cluster around 07:00–08:00 in the morning and around 18:16–19:16 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
The crossing is on Tallington Road in Bainton, Cambridgeshire.
Bainton is a automatic half-barrier crossing (AHB) on the Peterborough North Yd GBRf–Ketton Ward SDG GBRF line (East Coast route · ELR PMJ). The approaching train itself triggers the closure at a fixed point on its approach. 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.
