On today’s timetable, Burton Joyce crossing is predicted to be closed for about 2 h 24 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 55 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 4 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 06:35–07:35 in the morning and around 12:54–13:54 in the middle of the day. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Burton Joyce is a automatic half-barrier crossing (AHB-X) on the Nottingham–Thurgarton line (East Midlands route · ELR NOB1). 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 446 trains through this crossing.
100.0% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 99.0% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±231s (9 in 10 within 858s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
