On today’s timetable, Grays crossing is predicted to be closed for about 5 h 13 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 64 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: 8.0 min (05:10–05:19, 3 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 17:23–18:23 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Grays is a cctv-monitored manual barrier crossing (CCTV) on the Chafford Hundred–Tilbury Town line (Anglia route · ELR TLL). 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.
We score this page against what actually happened on the railway — over the last 7 days that covered 874 trains through this crossing.
99.9% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 99.5% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±20s (9 in 10 within 84s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
