Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether Network Rail has provided her with data on (a) barrier-down times, (b) duration of delays or (c) frequency of freight movements at the East Tilbury Level Crossing.

At this level crossing, there are around 150 scheduled passenger trains passing through each day and up to 45 freight services in both directions per day. During the last risk assessment, Network Rail identified that there were 102 level crossing activations, with an average barrier down time of four minutes and seven seconds, over a 24-hour period.
