About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Balne Lowgate crossing is predicted to be closed for about 9 h 32 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 87 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 20 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.

Worst times to cross today

Closures cluster around 08:37–09:37 in the morning and around 17:20–18:20 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.

About this crossing

Balne Lowgate is a manually-controlled barrier with obstacle detection crossing (MCBOD) on the Doncaster West Yard–Selby line (East Coast route · ELR ECM2). 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.
