On today’s timetable, Croes Newydd North Fork crossing is predicted to be closed for about 3 h between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 42 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 06:31–07:31 in the morning and around 20:00–21:00 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 Watery Road in Wrexham, next to Wrexham Central station.
Croes Newydd North Fork is a manually-controlled barrier crossing (MCB/MB) on the Wrexham Central–Dee Marsh Recp. Sdgs line (Wales route · ELR WSJ2). 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.
