Trainman-operated barrier level crossing on the Western route (ELR THO).
| No trains in the next 30 minutes. |
On today’s timetable, Iron Acton Bypass crossing is predicted to be closed for about 4 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 2 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 2 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 07:42–08:42 in the morning and around 20:59–21:59 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Iron Acton Bypass is a trainman-operated barrier crossing (TMOB) on the Cheltenham Spa–Westerleigh Puma DBC line (Western route · ELR THO). 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.
