On today’s timetable, March East crossing is predicted to be closed for about 5 h 16 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 63 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 8 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 07:19–08:19 in the morning and around 18:00–19:00 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
The crossing is on Station Road in March, Cambridgeshire, next to the station.
March East is a manually-controlled barrier crossing (MCB/MB) on the Ely–Peterborough line (Anglia route · ELR EMP). 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.
