On today’s timetable, Speedway crossing is predicted to be closed for about 4 h 19 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 91 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: 1.5 min (00:43–00:44, 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 06:03–07:03 in the morning and around 20:56–21:56 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Speedway is a automatic open level crossing crossing (AOCL) on the Laira TMD Fuel road–Laira T.& R.S.M.D. line (Western route · ELR SUT1). 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.
We score this page against what actually happened on the railway — over the last 7 days that covered 127 trains through this crossing.
83.5% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 16.5% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±255s (9 in 10 within 1390s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
