About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Burneside Lower crossing is predicted to be closed for about 1 h 27 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 32 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.

Worst times to cross today

Closures cluster around 08:02–09:02 in the morning and around 17:39–18:39 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 Sharps Lane in Burneside, Cumbria, next to the station.

Burneside Lower is a automatic open level crossing crossing (AOCL) on the Oxenholme Lake District–Windermere line (North West route · ELR OXW). 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.
