On today’s timetable, Cliffe crossing is predicted to be closed for about 7 h 18 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 88 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 14 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 (00:13–00:17, 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.
Closures cluster around 10:34–11:34 in the morning and around 19:27–20:27 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
The crossing is on York Road in Cliffe, North Yorkshire.
Cliffe is a CCTV-monitored manual barrier crossing (CCTV) on the Selby–Hull Dairycoates Tlcn GBRf line (North and East route · ELR HUL1). A signaller monitors the crossing, confirms it is clear, and lowers the barriers ahead of each train. 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.
