On today’s timetable, Crannaford crossing is predicted to be closed for about 42 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 17 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.
Closures cluster around 09:52–10:52 in the morning and around 17:57–18:57 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
The crossing is on Crannaford Lane in Cranbrook, Devon.
Crannaford is a automatic half-barrier crossing (AHB-X) on the Honiton–St. James' Park line (Western route · ELR BAE2). 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.
