About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Littleworth crossing is predicted to be closed for about 2 h 15 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 30 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.

Worst times to cross today

Closures cluster around 07:05–08:05 in the morning and around 12:29–13:29 in the middle of the day. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.

About this crossing

The crossing is on Littleworth Drove in Deeping St Nicholas, Lincolnshire.

Littleworth is a manually-controlled barrier with obstacle detection crossing (MCBOD) on the Down–Up line (East Midlands route · ELR WEB). 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.
