About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Cray Lane crossing is predicted to be closed for about 5 h 5 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 121 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.

Worst times to cross today

Closures cluster around 08:26–09:26 in the morning and around 18:56–19:56 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 Broomers Hill Lane near Codmore Hill, West Sussex.

Cray Lane is a automatic half-barrier crossing (AHB) on the Billingshurst–Arundel line (Sussex route · ELR TBH1). 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.
