On today’s timetable, Chester Station crossing is predicted to be closed for about 11 h 9 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 87 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 23 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 06:44–07:44 in the morning and around 17:27–18:27 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Chester Station is a signal-box-controlled crossing (SBC) on the Chester Middle Yard–Chester D.M.U.D. line (North West route · ELR CNH1). 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 1 trains through this crossing.
100.0% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 93.8% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±23s (9 in 10 within 23s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
