About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Fenny Stratford crossing is predicted to be closed for about 3 h 26 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 47 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 7 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.

Worst times to cross today

Closures cluster around 06:00–07:00 in the morning and around 13:02–14:02 in the middle of the day. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.

About this crossing

Fenny Stratford is a cctv-monitored manual barrier crossing (CCTV) on the Bletchley–Bow Brickhill line (West Coast South route · ELR BBM). 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.

How accurate is this forecast?

We score this page against what actually happened on the railway — over the last 7 days that covered 252 trains through this crossing.

74.2% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 66.4% of the warnings we could verify came true.

Typical timing error was ±61s (9 in 10 within 498s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
