About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Dock Lane crossing is predicted to be closed for about 1 h 2 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 31 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 1 minute. 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 06:17–07:17 in the morning and around 15:21–16:21 in the afternoon. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.

About this crossing

Dock Lane is a user-worked with stop lights crossing (UWCMSL) on the Ipswich–Sizewell TCA line (Anglia route · ELR ESK). 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.

How accurate is this forecast?

We score this page against what actually happened on the railway — over the last 7 days that covered 107 trains through this crossing.

100.0% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 100.0% of the warnings we could verify came true.

Typical timing error was ±10s (9 in 10 within 177s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
