About this crossing

The crossing is on Tofts Road West near Greatham, County Durham.

Graythorp is a automatic open level crossing crossing (AOCL) on the Seaton-On-Tees ABL UK–Billingham line (North and East route · ELR SOT). 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.
