On today’s timetable, Black Mill crossing is predicted to be closed for about 1 h 36 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 61 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 1 minute. 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: 0.6 min (00:06–00:06, 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 06:33–07:33 in the morning and around 14:31–15:31 in the afternoon. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Black Mill is a user-worked with stop lights crossing (UWCMSL) on the Stowmarket–Flordon line (Anglia route · ELR LTN1). 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 5 trains through this crossing.
100.0% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 100.0% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±52s (9 in 10 within 147s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
