Automatic half-barrier level crossing on the Anglia route (ELR WHC1).
Information only — always follow the signals and barriers at the crossing. Predictions may be wrong.

On today’s timetable, Belaugh Lane crossing is predicted to be closed for about 1 h 7 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 31 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 2 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: 1.5 min (00:19–00:21, 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.
Closures cluster around 06:54–07:54 in the morning and around 12:52–13:52 in the middle of the day. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Belaugh Lane is a automatic half-barrier crossing (AHB) on the Norwich C.Pt. T.&R.S.M.D–Worstead line (Anglia route · ELR WHC1). 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.
