On today’s timetable, Holme (No.31) crossing is predicted to be closed for about 4 h 43 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 61 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 7 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 10:01–11:01 in the morning and around 17:31–18:31 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 the B3070 in Holmebridge, Dorset.
Holme (No.31) is a manually-controlled barrier with obstacle detection crossing (MCBOD) on the Wareham–Weymouth line (Wessex route · ELR BML2). An obstacle-detection system scans the crossing and confirms it is clear before the barriers lower automatically. 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.
