CCTV-monitored manual barrier level crossing on the Scotland route (ELR WCM1).
| No trains in the next 30 minutes. |
On today’s timetable, Cove crossing is predicted to be closed for about 3 h 31 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 49 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.
Longest closure so far today: 3.2 min (00:10–00:13, 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 10:12–11:12 in the morning and around 18:02–19:02 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Cove is a cctv-monitored manual barrier crossing (CCTV) on the Carlisle Network Yard–Carstairs line (Scotland route · ELR WCM1). 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.
