Automatic full-barrier locally monitored level crossing on the Scotland route (ELR KYL).
| No trains in the next 30 minutes. |
On today’s timetable, Dingwall No. 1 crossing is predicted to be closed for about 19 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 8 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 2 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 06:51–07:51 in the morning and around 13:15–14:15 in the middle of the day. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Dingwall No. 1 is a automatic full-barrier locally monitored crossing (AFBCL) on the Inverness–Kyle of Lochalsh line (Scotland route · ELR KYL). 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.
We score this page against what actually happened on the railway — over the last 7 days that covered 34 trains through this crossing.
85.3% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 94.1% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±839s (9 in 10 within 1248s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
