On today’s timetable, Dolcoath crossing is predicted to be closed for about 3 h 37 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 50 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.
Closures cluster around 10:38–11:38 in the morning and around 18:50–19:50 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 Lower Pengegon in Camborne, Cornwall.
Dolcoath is a manually-controlled barrier with obstacle detection crossing (MCBOD) on the Redruth–St. Erth line (Western route · ELR MLN4). An obstacle-detection system scans the crossing and confirms it is clear before the barriers lower automatically. 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.
