On today’s timetable, Beech Hill crossing is predicted to be closed for about 33 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 12 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.
Closures cluster around 10:46–11:46 in the morning and around 14:46–15:46 in the afternoon. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Beech Hill is a automatic half-barrier crossing (AHB-X) on the Lincoln–Doncaster Down Decoy GBRF line (East Coast route · ELR SPD4). 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.
