About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Wrabness Station crossing is predicted to be closed for about 3 h 53 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 48 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 10 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: 3.2 min (06:03–06:06, 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.

Worst times to cross today

Closures cluster around 06:52–07:52 in the morning and around 20:38–21:38 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.

About this crossing

Wrabness Station is a signal-box-controlled crossing (SBCMSL) on the Mistley–Parkeston SS GBRF line (Anglia route · ELR MAH). 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.
