About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Kiln Lane crossing is predicted to be closed for about 5 h 38 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 120 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 4 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: 3.9 min (07:03–07:07, 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 08:22–09:22 in the morning and around 13:55–14:55 in the middle of the day. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.

About this crossing

Kiln Lane is a automatic half-barrier crossing (AHB) on the Ely–March Up Yard GBRF line (Anglia route · ELR BGK). 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.

How accurate is this forecast?

We score this page against what actually happened on the railway — over the last 7 days that covered 1,089 trains through this crossing.

99.3% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 97.8% of the warnings we could verify came true.

Typical timing error was ±21s (9 in 10 within 359s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
