Manually-controlled barrier with obstacle detection level crossing on the Sussex route (ELR WJB).
Information only — always follow the signals and barriers at the crossing. Predictions may be wrong.

On today’s timetable, Pevensey crossing is predicted to be closed for about 5 h 53 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 72 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 7 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 07:33–08:33 in the morning and around 16:17–17:17 in the afternoon. 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 Willingdon Jn–Bexhill 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.
We score this page against what actually happened on the railway — over the last 7 days that covered 371 trains through this crossing.
99.7% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 97.3% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±28s (9 in 10 within 176s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
