About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Bathley Lane crossing is predicted to be closed for about 11 h 4 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 105 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 14 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: 16.2 min (08:50–09:06, 7 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 08:25–09:25 in the morning and around 20:27–21:27 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.

About this crossing

The crossing is on Bathley Lane in North Muskham, Nottinghamshire.

Bathley Lane is a CCTV-monitored manual barrier crossing (CCTV) on the Newark North Gate–Retford 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.
