About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Pooley Green crossing is predicted to be closed for about 7 h 32 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 74 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 12 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: 12.8 min (09:14–09:27, 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 07:00–08:00 in the morning and around 20:47–21:47 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.

About this crossing

The crossing is on Vicarage Road in Egham, Surrey.

Pooley Green is a CCTV-monitored manual barrier crossing (CCTV) on the Staines–Virginia Water line (Wessex route · ELR RDG1). 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.
