On today’s timetable, Haydon Bridge crossing is predicted to be closed for about 4 h 9 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 53 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 08:33–09:33 in the morning and around 18:49–19:49 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 Church Street in Haydon Bridge, Northumberland, next to the station.
Haydon Bridge is a manually-controlled barrier crossing (MCB/MB) on the Hexham–Carlisle line (North and East route · ELR NEC2). A signaller monitors the crossing, confirms it is clear, and lowers the barriers 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.
