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.

Worst times to cross today

Closures cluster around 06:20–07:20 in the morning and around 20:51–21:51 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.

About this crossing

The crossing is near Sherborne, Dorset.

Lenthay is a user-worked with stop lights crossing (UWCMSL) on the Templecombe–Yeovil Junction line (Wessex route · ELR BAE2). 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.
