About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Britannia Farm crossing is predicted to be closed for about 1 h 14 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 38 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: 2.2 min (08:53–08:55, 2 trains), 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.

Worst times to cross today

Closures cluster around 06:40–07:40 in the morning and around 12:00–13:00 in the middle of the day. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.

About this crossing

Britannia Farm is a user-worked with stop lights crossing (UWCMSL) on the Reedham (Norfolk)–Up line (Anglia route · ELR NAY). 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.
