About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Kings Fernsden crossing is predicted to be closed for about 5 h 50 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 66 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 10 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: 3.2 min (00:14–00:17, 1 train), 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 07:45–08:45 in the morning and around 15:45–16:45 in the afternoon. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.

About this crossing

The crossing is on Kingsfernsden Lane in Sheet, Hampshire.

Kings Fernsden is a manually-controlled barrier with obstacle detection crossing (MCBOD) on the Haslemere–Havant line (Wessex route · ELR WPH1). An obstacle-detection system scans the crossing and confirms it is clear before the barriers lower automatically. 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.
