Manually-controlled barrier with obstacle detection level crossing on the North and East route (ELR LEN3).
| No trains in the next 30 minutes. |
On today’s timetable, Church Street (hartlepool) crossing is predicted to be closed for about 5 h 6 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 68 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 7 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 06:23–07:23 in the morning and around 12:52–13:52 in the middle of the day. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Church Street (hartlepool) is a manually-controlled barrier with obstacle detection crossing (MCBOD) on the Eaglescliffe–Hartlepool PD Ports FL line (North and East route · ELR LEN3). 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.
