On today’s timetable, East Road crossing is predicted to be closed for about 15 h 5 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 39 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 79 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: 6.9 min (22:59–23:06, 2 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.
Closures cluster around 06:05–07:05 in the morning and around 12:39–13:39 in the middle of the day. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
East Road is a miniature warning light crossing (MWLB) on the Hitchin–St. Neots line (East Coast route · ELR ECM1). 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.
We score this page against what actually happened on the railway — over the last 7 days that covered 18 trains through this crossing.
100.0% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 93.3% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±55s (9 in 10 within 276s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
