About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Funthams Lane crossing is predicted to be closed for about 5 h 27 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 71 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 8 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: 3.2 min (00:00–00:03, 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.

Worst times to cross today

Closures cluster around 07:01–08:01 in the morning and around 18:57–19:57 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 Funthams Lane near Peterborough, Cambridgeshire.

Funthams Lane is a CCTV-monitored manual barrier crossing (CCTV) on the March Up Yard GBRF–Peterborough line (Anglia route · ELR EMP). 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 324 trains through this crossing.

100.0% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 98.0% of the warnings we could verify came true.

Typical timing error was ±14s (9 in 10 within 40s). This scores when trains pass: barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
