Brickyard Lane level crossing

Automatic barrier locally monitored level crossing on the East Midlands route (ELR RAC).

BetaNottingham's trams use this crossing as well as trains, and closures for them are now shown. They come from the published tram timetable: we don't receive live tram running data, so a tram that is delayed, early or cancelled won't be reflected here. Train times are live as normal. If something looks wrong, please tell us — it genuinely helps.

About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Brickyard Lane crossing is predicted to be closed for about 7 h 25 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 172 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 6 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: 1.5 min (05:26–05:28, 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.

Worst times to cross today

Closures cluster around 09:51–10:51 in the morning and around 18:51–19:51 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.

About this crossing

Brickyard Lane is a automatic barrier locally monitored crossing (ABCL) on the Trent Sidings–Hucknall line (East Midlands route · ELR RAC). 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.

How accurate is this forecast?

We score this page against what actually happened on the railway — over the last 7 days that covered 222 trains through this crossing.

100.0% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 100.0% of the warnings we could verify came true.

Typical timing error was ±19s (9 in 10 within 143s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
