About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Glebe Road crossing is predicted to be closed for about 9 h 7 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 89 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 18 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 07:38–08:38 in the morning and around 17:14–18:14 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.

About this crossing

The crossing is on Glebe Road in Dunmurry, next to the station.

Glebe Road is a automatic half-barrier crossing (AHB) on the Finaghy–Derriaghy line (NI Railways route). 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.
