About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Conington North crossing is predicted to be closed for about 12 h 41 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 104 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 26 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: 17.6 min (08:12–08:30, 7 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 08:14–09:14 in the morning and around 19:52–20:52 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.

About this crossing

The crossing is on Fen Road near Holme, Cambridgeshire.

Conington North is a CCTV-monitored manual barrier crossing (CCTV) on the Huntingdon–Peterborough line (East Coast route · ELR ECM1). 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.
