About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Moat Hills crossing is predicted to be closed for about 10 h 6 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 111 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 12 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 07:28–08:28 in the morning and around 13:12–14:12 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 Ings Road in Doncaster, South Yorkshire.

Moat Hills is a CCTV-monitored manual barrier crossing (CCTV) on the Doncaster–Shaftholme Junction line (East Coast route · ELR ECM1). 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.
