On today’s timetable, Blythe Bridge crossing is predicted to be closed for about 2 h 5 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 23 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 6 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 06:33–07:33 in the morning and around 14:23–15:23 in the afternoon. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
The crossing is on Uttoxeter Road in Blythe Bridge, Staffordshire, next to the station.
Blythe Bridge is a CCTV-monitored manual barrier crossing (CCTV) on the Derby–Longton line (East Midlands route · ELR NSS). A signaller monitors the crossing, confirms it is clear, and lowers the barriers 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.
