About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Plassers crossing is predicted to be closed for about 15 h 3 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 87 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 52 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: 7.6 min (00:08–00:15, 4 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 06:06–07:06 in the morning and around 17:07–18:07 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.

About this crossing

Plassers is a automatic open level crossing with barriers crossing (AOCLB) on the West Ealing–Up line (Western route · ELR WEL1). 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.

How accurate is this forecast?

We score this page against what actually happened on the railway — over the last 7 days that covered 1,422 trains through this crossing.

98.4% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 76.0% of the warnings we could verify came true.

Typical timing error was ±30s (9 in 10 within 91s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
