On today’s timetable, Maiden Newton crossing is predicted to be closed for about 52 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 11 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 6 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 07:00–08:00 in the morning and around 19:44–20:44 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
The crossing is in Maiden Newton, Dorset, next to the station.
Maiden Newton is a signal-box-controlled crossing (SBC) on the Yeovil Pen Mill–Weymouth line (Wessex route · ELR WEY). 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.
