About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Wedgwood Station crossing is predicted to be closed for about 9 h 37 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 119 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.

Longest closure so far today: 8.5 min (09:40–09:49, 3 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.

Worst times to cross today

Closures cluster around 06:15–07:15 in the morning and around 19:06–20:06 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 Wedgwood Drive near Barlaston, Staffordshire.

Wedgwood Station is a CCTV-monitored manual barrier crossing (CCTV) on the Stafford–Stoke Jn line (West Coast South route · ELR CMD2). 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.
