On today’s timetable, Holmes Junction crossing is predicted to be closed for about 11 h 26 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 88 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.
Closures cluster around 07:31–08:31 in the morning and around 14:42–15:42 in the afternoon. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Holmes Junction is a cctv-monitored manual barrier crossing (CCTV) on the Parkgate–Milford West Sidings line (North and East route · ELR TJC2). 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 771 trains through this crossing.
100.0% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 96.0% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±50s (9 in 10 within 125s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
