On today’s timetable, Ely West River crossing is predicted to be closed for about 4 h 23 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 129 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 3 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: 2.1 min (09:04–09:06, 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 06:29–07:29 in the morning and around 19:16–20:16 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Ely West River is a user-worked with stop lights crossing (UWCMSL) on the Chesterton Junction FHH–Ely line (Anglia route · ELR BGK). 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.
