On today’s timetable, Rye - Grove Road crossing is predicted to be closed for about 1 h 42 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 18 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 6 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: 3.2 min (06:30–06:33, 1 train), 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 06:00–07:00 in the morning and around 20:49–21:49 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Rye - Grove Road is a cctv-monitored manual barrier crossing (CCTV) on the Ashford International–Ore line (Kent route · ELR ATH). 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.
