Level level crossing on the Anglia route (ELR BGK).
Information only — always follow the signals and barriers at the crossing. Predictions may be wrong.

On today’s timetable, Fairheads UWCBM (BGK) crossing is predicted to be closed for about 4 h 7 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 115 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: 0.6 min (00:03–00:04, 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 06:08–07:08 in the morning and around 15:14–16:14 in the afternoon. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Fairheads UWCBM (BGK) is a level crossing (UWCBMSL) on the Audley End–Cambridge 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.
We score this page against what actually happened on the railway — over the last 7 days that covered 1,028 trains through this crossing.
100.0% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 99.1% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±1s (9 in 10 within 13s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
