About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Cookham crossing is predicted to be closed for about 1 h 41 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 46 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.

Worst times to cross today

Closures cluster around 08:14–09:14 in the morning and around 19:03–20:03 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 Lower Road in Cookham Rise, Berkshire, next to Cookham station.

Cookham is a automatic barrier locally monitored crossing (ABCL) on the Maidenhead–Bourne End line (Western route · ELR WBB). 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.
