Automatic barrier locally monitored level crossing on the North and East route (ELR BAR).
| No trains in the next 30 minutes. |
On today’s timetable, Butterswood crossing is predicted to be closed for about 37 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 15 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.
Closures cluster around 09:26–10:26 in the morning and around 13:26–14:26 in the middle of the day. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Butterswood is a automatic barrier locally monitored crossing (ABCL-X) on the Lindsey Oil Refinery COLAS–Barton-on-Humber line (North and East route · ELR BAR). 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.
