About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Barnby Lane crossing is predicted to be closed for about 10 h 32 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 98 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 18 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: 8.9 min (07:37–07:46, 4 trains), 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 07:55–08:55 in the morning and around 20:11–21:11 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.

About this crossing

Barnby Lane is a cctv-monitored manual barrier crossing (CCTV) on the Grantham–Newark North Gate line (East Coast route · ELR ECM1). A signaller monitors the crossing, confirms it is clear, and lowers the barriers ahead of each train. 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.
