CCTV-monitored manual barrier level crossing on the East Coast route (ELR ECM7).
Information only — always follow the signals and barriers at the crossing. Predictions may be wrong.

On today’s timetable, Stamford crossing is predicted to be closed for about 7 h 50 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 103 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 7 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.
Closures cluster around 06:26–07:26 in the morning and around 18:15–19:15 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Stamford is a cctv-monitored manual barrier crossing (CCTV) on the Morpeth–Chathill line (East Coast route · ELR ECM7). 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 865 trains through this crossing.
99.9% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 99.2% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±57s (9 in 10 within 276s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
