On today’s timetable, Pevensey crossing is predicted to be closed for about 5 h 17 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 63 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 10 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 (00:22–00:25, 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 06:58–07:58 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.
Pevensey is a manually-controlled barrier with obstacle detection crossing (MCBOD) on the Down–Hastings line (Sussex route · ELR WJB). An obstacle-detection system scans the crossing and confirms it is clear before the barriers lower automatically. 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.
