On today’s timetable, Allens West crossing is predicted to be closed for about 7 h 45 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 95 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 8 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 (23:59–00:02, 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 07:41–08:41 in the morning and around 15:26–16:26 in the afternoon. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Allens West is a manually-controlled barrier with obstacle detection crossing (MCBOD) on the Teesside Airport–Tees N.Y. line (North and East route · ELR DSN1). An obstacle-detection system scans the crossing and confirms it is clear before the barriers lower automatically. 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 708 trains through this crossing.
100.0% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 98.9% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±38s (9 in 10 within 126s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
