On today’s timetable, Foxton crossing is predicted to be closed for about 9 h 17 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 113 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 13 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: 18.2 min (07:22–07:40, 6 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 06:00–07:00 in the morning and around 17:21–18:21 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
The crossing is on Cambridge Road in Foxton, Cambridgeshire, next to the station.
Foxton is a manually-controlled barrier crossing (MCB/MB) on the Shepreth–Cambridge line (Anglia route · ELR SBR). 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.
