On today’s timetable, Roydon Station crossing is predicted to be closed for about 13 h 51 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 117 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 27 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: 12.3 min (06:52–07:04, 6 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 07:58–08:58 in the morning and around 16:20–17:20 in the afternoon. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
The crossing is on the B181 in Roydon, Essex, next to the station.
Roydon Station is a CCTV-monitored manual barrier crossing (CCTV) on the Broxbourne–Bishops Stortford line (Anglia route · ELR BGK). 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 1,507 trains through this crossing.
100.0% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 98.2% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±4s (9 in 10 within 54s). This scores when trains pass: barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
