About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Queen Adelaide (Peterborough) crossing is predicted to be closed for about 4 h 38 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 103 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 4 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: 2.6 min (06:36–06:39, 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.

Worst times to cross today

Closures cluster around 08:03–09:03 in the morning and around 17:49–18:49 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.

About this crossing

Queen Adelaide (Peterborough) is a automatic half-barrier crossing (AHB) on the Ely–March Up Yard GBRF line (Anglia route · ELR EMP). The approaching train itself triggers the closure at a fixed point on its approach. 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 106 trains through this crossing.

100.0% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 94.2% of the warnings we could verify came true.

Typical timing error was ±4s (9 in 10 within 60s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
