Manual gate level crossing on the East Midlands route (ELR BBM).
| No trains in the next 30 minutes. |
On today’s timetable, Bedford Carriage Sidings crossing is predicted to be closed for about 0 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 0 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 0 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: 3.2 min (00:02–00:05, 1 train), 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.
No pronounced peak — closures are spread through the day.
Bedford Carriage Sidings is a manual gate crossing (MGH) on the Bedford Cauldwell Sig CW02–Up line (East Midlands route · ELR BBM). A signaller or crossing keeper closes the gates across the road ahead of each train. 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.
