On today’s timetable, Portobello Junction crossing is predicted to be closed for about 11 h 17 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 94 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 22 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 06:36–07:36 in the morning and around 15:20–16:20 in the afternoon. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Portobello Junction is a cctv-monitored manual barrier crossing (CCTV) on the Soho LMD–Wolverhampton line (Central route · ELR PBJ). 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.
We score this page against what actually happened on the railway — over the last 7 days that covered 904 trains through this crossing.
99.7% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 77.3% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±8s (9 in 10 within 50s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
