About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Poole (High Street) crossing is predicted to be closed for about 7 h 7 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 87 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.

Worst times to cross today

Closures cluster around 08:24–09:24 in the morning and around 20:10–21:10 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.

About this crossing

Poole (High Street) is a cctv-monitored manual barrier crossing (CCTV) on the Bournemouth T.&R.S.M.D–Wareham line (Wessex route · ELR BML2). 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.
