Manual gate level crossing on the East Coast route (ELR ECM1).

On today’s timetable, Grassthorpe Lane crossing is predicted to be closed for about 10 h 42 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 86 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 22 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.
Longest closure so far today: 3.2 min (00:33–00:36, 1 train), timed from trains actually seen on the signalling wire — the window edges use the same per-type margins as the forecast, since barrier positions aren't in any feed we can read.
Closures cluster around 08:34–09:34 in the morning and around 16:47–17:47 in the afternoon. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Grassthorpe Lane is a manual gate crossing (MGH) on the Newark North Gate–Worksop line (East Coast route · ELR ECM1). A signaller or crossing keeper closes the gates across the road 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.
We score this page against what actually happened on the railway — over the last 7 days that covered 18 trains through this crossing.
100.0% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 100.0% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±63s (9 in 10 within 731s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
