On today’s timetable, Laundry Lane crossing is predicted to be closed for about 10 h 38 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 158 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 21 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 (00:40–00:44, 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.
Closures cluster around 06:03–07:03 in the morning and around 19:15–20:15 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Laundry Lane is a automatic open level crossing with barriers crossing (AOCLB) on the Cambridge Reception Sdgs–Cambridge North line (Anglia route · ELR CCH). 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.
We score this page against what actually happened on the railway — over the last 7 days that covered 1,675 trains through this crossing.
96.7% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 95.0% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±41s (9 in 10 within 589s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
