About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Aberleri crossing is predicted to be closed for about 1 h 13 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 29 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 (00:14–00:16, 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 10:05–11:05 in the morning and around 16:04–17:04 in the afternoon. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.

About this crossing

The crossing is in Ynyslas, Ceredigion.

Aberleri is a automatic half-barrier crossing (AHB) on the Dovey Junction–Aberystwyth line (Wales route · ELR SBA2). 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.
