On today’s timetable, Mitre Bridge crossing is predicted to be closed for about 13 h 24 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 101 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 29 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 (00:05–00:08, 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.
Closures cluster around 08:48–09:48 in the morning and around 16:54–17:54 in the afternoon. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Mitre Bridge is a cctv-monitored manual barrier crossing (CCTV) on the North Pole Jn–Willesden Jn. High Level line (West Coast South route · ELR WLL). 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.
We score this page against what actually happened on the railway — over the last 7 days that covered 76 trains through this crossing.
98.7% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 78.6% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±29s (9 in 10 within 634s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
