On today’s timetable, Bertwyn crossing is predicted to be closed for about 2 h 14 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 48 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 4 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 09:38–10:38 in the morning and around 14:05–15:05 in the afternoon. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
The crossing is near Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire.
Bertwyn is a automatic half-barrier crossing (AHB) on the Down–Up line (Wales route · ELR SWM2). 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.
