About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Nether Poppleton crossing is predicted to be closed for about 12 h 47 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 71 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 35 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 09:03–10:03 in the morning and around 13:55–14:55 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

Nether Poppleton is a manually-controlled barrier with obstacle detection crossing (MCBOD) on the York–Harrogate line (East Coast route · ELR HAY1). An obstacle-detection system scans the crossing and confirms it is clear before the barriers lower automatically. 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.

How accurate is this forecast?

We score this page against what actually happened on the railway — over the last 7 days that covered 1,370 trains through this crossing.

100.0% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 98.1% of the warnings we could verify came true.

Typical timing error was ±39s (9 in 10 within 97s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
