Automatic half-barrier level crossing on the Anglia route (ELR ETN).
Information only — always follow the signals and barriers at the crossing. Predictions may be wrong.

On today’s timetable, Hargham No 1 crossing is predicted to be closed for about 2 h 7 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 59 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.
Closures cluster around 07:29–08:29 in the morning and around 12:00–13:00 in the middle of the day. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Hargham No 1 is a automatic half-barrier crossing (AHB) on the Thetford–Attleborough line (Anglia route · ELR ETN). 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.
We score this page against what actually happened on the railway — over the last 7 days that covered 450 trains through this crossing.
99.6% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 98.9% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±19s (9 in 10 within 131s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
