On today’s timetable, Mistley Station crossing is predicted to be closed for about 3 h 27 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 48 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 9 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: 6.3 min (16:45–16:51, 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 06:57–07:57 in the morning and around 15:19–16:19 in the afternoon. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Mistley Station is a signal-box-controlled crossing (SBCMSL) on the Mistley Down Loop–Parkeston SS GBRF line (Anglia route · ELR MAH). 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 396 trains through this crossing.
99.7% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 100.0% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±2s (9 in 10 within 51s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
