About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Burn Lane crossing is predicted to be closed for about 6 h 40 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 81 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 12 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: 3.2 min (00:15–00:18, 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 06:26–07:26 in the morning and around 17:35–18:35 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.

About this crossing

Burn Lane is a manually-controlled barrier with obstacle detection crossing (MCBOD) on the Doncaster West Yard–Selby line (North and East route · ELR TCW1). An obstacle-detection system scans the crossing and confirms it is clear before the barriers lower automatically. 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 2 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 ±761s (9 in 10 within 761s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
