On today’s timetable, Codford crossing is predicted to be closed for about 2 h 25 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 58 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 4 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: 3.6 min (06:17–06:21, 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.
Closures cluster around 10:58–11:58 in the morning and around 12:16–13:16 in the middle of the day. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
The crossing is on Station Road in Boyton, Wiltshire.
Codford is a automatic half-barrier crossing (AHB) on the Warminster–Salisbury line (Wessex route · ELR SAL). The approaching train itself triggers the closure at a fixed point on its approach. 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.
