On today’s timetable, Fulbourn crossing is predicted to be closed for about 1 h 32 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 36 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 2 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: 1.5 min (06:15–06:17, 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 08:33–09:33 in the morning and around 16:53–17:53 in the afternoon. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
The crossing is on Station Road in Fulbourn, Cambridgeshire.
Fulbourn is a automatic half-barrier crossing (AHB) on the Chesterton Junction FHH–Ely line (Anglia route · ELR CCH). The approaching train itself triggers the closure at a fixed point on its approach. 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.
