About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Hansons crossing is predicted to be closed for about 1 h 30 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 49 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.

Longest closure so far today: 1.7 min (07:36–07:38, 2 trains), 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.

Worst times to cross today

Closures cluster around 06:42–07:42 in the morning and around 18:02–19:02 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 near Marton, Lincolnshire.

Hansons is a user-worked with stop lights crossing (UWCMSL) on the Lincoln–Worksop line (East Midlands route · ELR SPD3). 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.
