About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Hauxton Road crossing is predicted to be closed for about 6 h 9 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 125 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 6 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: 7.5 min (09:24–09:32, 4 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.

Worst times to cross today

Closures cluster around 09:17–10:17 in the morning and around 19:56–20:56 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 in Little Shelford, Cambridgeshire.

Hauxton Road is a automatic half-barrier crossing (AHB) on the Audley End–Cambridge line (Anglia route · ELR SBR). 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.
