On today’s timetable, Hest Bank crossing is predicted to be closed for about 10 h between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 116 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 19 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: 7.0 min (02:35–02:42, 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.
Closures cluster around 08:01–09:01 in the morning and around 13:09–14:09 in the middle of the day. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Hest Bank is a cctv-monitored manual barrier crossing (CCTV) on the Morecambe–Oxenholme Lake District line (North West route · ELR CGJ7). 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.
We score this page against what actually happened on the railway — over the last 7 days that covered 1,360 trains through this crossing.
99.9% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 98.8% of the warnings we could verify came true.
