On today’s timetable, High Eggborough crossing is predicted to be closed for about 1 h 56 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 23 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 5 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 (00:18–00:21, 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 06:01–07:01 in the morning and around 19:40–20:40 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
High Eggborough is a cctv-monitored manual barrier crossing (CCTV) on the Sudforth Lane Down (EWS)–Drax Power Station line (North and East route · ELR WAG1). 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 135 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 ±18s (9 in 10 within 754s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
