Freight through Barking station, hour by hour

Freight is booked through or alongside Barking station on 1,104 paths in the week beginning 12 October 2026: 199 paths on the Wednesday, 127 paths on the Saturday and 16 paths on the Sunday. 98 of them run whatever the traffic; the rest are held in the timetable and used only when there is something to move. The busiest hour is 04:00 to 05:00 on the Tuesday, with 18 paths booked.

The grid counts the goods trains booked to pass in each hour of the week beginning 12 October 2026: the darker the hour, the more paths, and a dot marks an hour with at least one path that runs regardless. Engineering trains, empty stock and light engines are not counted. Across Britain only about a fifth of booked freight paths run on a given day, so a booked path is a possibility rather than a promise; the freight statistics page explains how that is measured.
