About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Valewood crossing is predicted to be closed for about 3 h 49 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 94 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 3 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 09:05–10:05 in the morning and around 19:14–20:14 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.

About this crossing

The crossing is on Bulbrook Farm in Barns Green, West Sussex.

Valewood is a user-worked with stop lights crossing (UWCMSL) on the Horsham–Billingshurst line (Sussex route · ELR TBH1). 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.
