On today’s timetable, Thorn Lane crossing is predicted to be closed for about 1 h 31 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 36 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 2 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.

Worst times to cross today

Closures cluster around 06:00–07:00 in the morning and around 19:03–20:03 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
