On today’s timetable, Buckenham Station crossing is predicted to be closed for about 1 h between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 37 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: 0.6 min (00:01–00:02, 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 07:41–08:41 in the morning and around 14:33–15:33 in the afternoon. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Buckenham Station is a user-worked with stop lights crossing (UWCMSL) on the Norwich C.Pt. T.&R.S.M.D–Reedham (Norfolk) line (Anglia route · ELR NOL). 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 387 trains through this crossing.
99.7% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 99.7% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±6s (9 in 10 within 168s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
