On today’s timetable, Hillam Gates crossing is predicted to be closed for about 3 h 43 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 43 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 8 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 09:29–10:29 in the morning and around 19:12–20:12 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 Betteras Hill Road in Hillam, North Yorkshire.
Hillam Gates is a CCTV-monitored manual barrier crossing (CCTV) on the Knottingley T.M.D.–Milford West Sidings line (North and East route · ELR NOC). 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.
