About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Jurgens crossing is predicted to be closed for about 5 h 10 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 79 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 7 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: 6.9 min (04:16–04:23, 2 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 07:05–08:05 in the morning and around 18:52–19:52 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.

About this crossing

Jurgens is a manually-controlled barrier crossing (MCB/MB) on the Down–West Thurrock Headshunt 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.
