On today’s timetable, Reigate crossing is predicted to be closed for about 4 h 16 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 63 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 5 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: 11.6 min (04:36–04:47, 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 09:16–10:16 in the morning and around 16:21–17:21 in the afternoon. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Reigate is a manually-controlled barrier crossing (MCB/MB) on the Redhill–Haslemere line (Sussex route · ELR RSJ). 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 887 trains through this crossing.
74.6% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 97.2% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±6s (9 in 10 within 212s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
