On today’s timetable, Mount Bures crossing is predicted to be closed for about 1 h 36 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 32 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 2 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 08:13–09:13 in the morning and around 16:36–17:36 in the afternoon. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Mount Bures is a automatic barrier locally monitored crossing (ABCL) on the Sudbury–Chappel & Wakes Colne line (Anglia route · ELR SUD). 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 254 trains through this crossing.
100.0% 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 ±521s (9 in 10 within 1009s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
