On today’s timetable, Everton crossing is predicted to be closed for about 12 h 32 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 103 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 20 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: 3.2 min (00:11–00:14, 1 train), 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 09:49–10:49 in the morning and around 12:00–13:00 in the middle of the day. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
The crossing is on Tempsford Road near Sandy, Bedfordshire.
Everton is a CCTV-monitored manual barrier crossing (CCTV) on the Sandy South Pos Light P3–St. Neots line (East Coast route · ELR ECM1). A signaller monitors the crossing, confirms it is clear, and lowers the barriers 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.
