On today’s timetable, Walpole crossing is predicted to be closed for about 2 h 15 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 31 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.
Longest closure so far today: 5.3 min (06:05–06:10, 2 trains), 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 15:07–16:07 in the afternoon. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Walpole is a cctv-monitored manual barrier crossing (CCTV) on the Norwich C.Pt. T.&R.S.M.D–Gunton line (Anglia route · ELR WHC1). 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.
