Navigation Road level crossing

CCTV-monitored manual barrier level crossing on the North West route (ELR CDM1).

BetaMetrolink trams use this crossing as well as trains, and closures for them are now shown. They come from the published tram timetable: we don't receive live tram running data, so a tram that is delayed, early or cancelled won't be reflected here. Train times are live as normal. If something looks wrong, please tell us: it genuinely helps.

About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Navigation Road crossing is predicted to be closed for about 8 h 28 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 226 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 06:55–07:55 in the morning and around 12:21–13:21 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 Wellington Road in Altrincham, Greater Manchester, next to Navigation Road station.

Navigation Road is a CCTV-monitored manual barrier crossing (CCTV) on the Stockport–Altrincham line (North West route · ELR CDM1). 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.
