On today’s timetable, Jacobs Gutter Lane crossing is predicted to be closed for about 3 h 39 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 80 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 5 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 08:58–09:58 in the morning and around 16:29–17:29 in the afternoon. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Jacobs Gutter Lane is a automatic half-barrier crossing (AHB) on the Down–Up line (Wessex route · ELR TTF). 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.
