About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Pond Street crossing is predicted to be closed for about 58 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 31 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 1 minute. 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: 0.6 min (05:13–05:13, 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.

Worst times to cross today

Closures cluster around 06:00–07:00 in the morning and around 13:13–14:13 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

Pond Street is a user-worked with stop lights crossing (UWCMSL) on the Norwich C.Pt. T.&R.S.M.D–Gunton line (Anglia route · ELR WHC1). 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 245 trains through this crossing.

99.6% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 99.6% of the warnings we could verify came true.

Typical timing error was ±336s (9 in 10 within 884s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
