On today’s timetable, Westerfield crossing is predicted to be closed for about 4 h 42 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 65 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 6 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 06:01–07:01 in the morning and around 20:29–21:29 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Westerfield is a cctv-monitored manual barrier crossing (CCTV) on the Ipswich–Sizewell TCA line (Anglia route · ELR ESK). 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 225 trains through this crossing.
99.1% 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 ±13s (9 in 10 within 318s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
