About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Low House crossing is predicted to be closed for about 1 h 42 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 22 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 5 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 08:23–09:23 in the morning and around 16:18–17:18 in the afternoon. 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 Armathwaite, Cumbria.

Low House is a manually-controlled barrier crossing (MCB/MB) on the New Biggin FLHH–Carlisle line (North West route · ELR SAC). 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.
