On today’s timetable, Elsenham - crossing is predicted to be closed for about 8 h 17 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 104 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 10 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 09:55–10:55 in the morning and around 17:04–18:04 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Elsenham - is a manual gate crossing (MGH) on the Bishops Stortford–Audley End line (Anglia route · ELR BGK). A signaller or crossing keeper closes the gates across the road ahead of each train. 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 1,014 trains through this crossing.
100.0% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 98.9% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±5s (9 in 10 within 146s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
