On today’s timetable, Littons Mill crossing is predicted to be closed for about 11 h 35 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 76 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 28 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.
Longest closure so far today: 12.9 min (23:58–00:11, 5 trains), timed from trains actually seen on the signalling wire — the window edges use the same per-type margins as the forecast, since barrier positions aren't in any feed we can read.
Closures cluster around 07:00–08:00 in the morning and around 20:02–21:02 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Littons Mill is a manual gate crossing (MGH) on the Arpley Sidings–Wigan Wallgate line (North West route · ELR SDJ2). A signaller or crossing keeper closes the gates across the road 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 1,231 trains through this crossing.
89.5% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 94.7% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±58s (9 in 10 within 143s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
