About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Folly Bank crossing is predicted to be closed for about 2 h 33 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 31 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 6 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 08:55–09:55 in the morning and around 18:53–19:53 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.

About this crossing

The crossing is on Thorney Road in Peakirk, Cambridgeshire.

Folly Bank is a manually-controlled barrier with obstacle detection crossing (MCBOD) on the Down–Up line (East Coast route · ELR WEB). An obstacle-detection system scans the crossing and confirms it is clear before the barriers lower automatically. 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.
