About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Offord crossing is predicted to be closed for about 12 h 18 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 90 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: 14.2 min (09:37–09:51, 5 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.

Worst times to cross today

Closures cluster around 06:37–07:37 in the morning and around 13:53–14:53 in the middle of the day. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.

About this crossing

The crossing is in Offord Cluny, Cambridgeshire.

Offord is a CCTV-monitored manual barrier crossing (CCTV) on the St. Neots–Peterborough line (East Coast route · ELR ECM1). 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.

How accurate is this forecast?

We score this page against what actually happened on the railway: over the last 7 days that covered 1,562 trains through this crossing.

100.0% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 99.3% of the warnings we could verify came true.

Typical timing error was Β±1s (9 in 10 within 8s). This scores when trains pass: barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
