On today’s timetable, Princes Bridge crossing is predicted to be closed for about 6 h 12 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 77 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 7 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: 5.6 min (06:39–06:45, 2 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.
Closures cluster around 06:33–07:33 in the morning and around 18:35–19:35 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Princes Bridge is a manually-controlled barrier with obstacle detection crossing (MCBOD) on the Haslemere–Petersfield line (Wessex route · ELR WPH1). An obstacle-detection system scans the crossing and confirms it is clear before the barriers lower automatically. 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 711 trains through this crossing.
