On today’s timetable, Brompton crossing is predicted to be closed for about 2 h 17 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 55 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.
Longest closure so far today: 1.5 min (00:45–00:46, 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.
Closures cluster around 07:28–08:28 in the morning and around 15:11–16:11 in the afternoon. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Brompton is a automatic half-barrier crossing (AHB) on the Northallerton–Up line (East Coast route · ELR LEN3). 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.
We score this page against what actually happened on the railway — over the last 7 days that covered 218 trains through this crossing.
97.7% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 99.8% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±444s (9 in 10 within 806s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
