Automatic barrier locally monitored level crossing on the Anglia route (ELR BRA).
| No trains in the next 30 minutes. |
On today’s timetable, White Notley crossing is predicted to be closed for about 1 h 18 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 35 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.
Longest closure so far today: 1.5 min (00:07–00:08, 1 train), 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 06:56–07:56 in the morning and around 17:16–18:16 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
White Notley is a automatic barrier locally monitored crossing (ABCL) on the Witham–Braintree line (Anglia route · ELR BRA). The approaching train itself triggers the closure at a fixed point on its approach. 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 293 trains through this crossing.
96.6% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 95.8% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±106s (9 in 10 within 1389s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
