About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Dawes Lane crossing is predicted to be closed for about 1 h 44 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 29 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 6 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.

Worst times to cross today

Closures cluster around 08:40–09:40 in the morning and around 20:46–21:46 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.

About this crossing

Dawes Lane is a automatic open level crossing with barriers crossing (AOCLB) on the Scunthorpe B.S.C.(Ent.C.)–Goole line (North and East route · ELR NOP1). 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.

How accurate is this forecast?

We score this page against what actually happened on the railway — over the last 7 days that covered 188 trains through this crossing.

99.5% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 96.8% of the warnings we could verify came true.

Typical timing error was ±25s (9 in 10 within 98s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
