Manually-controlled barrier with obstacle detection level crossing on the East Coast route (ELR HAY1).
Information only. Always follow the signals and barriers at the crossing. Predictions may be wrong.
| No trains in the next 30 minutes. |
On today’s timetable, Nether Poppleton crossing is predicted to be closed for about 4 h 11 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 57 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.
Closures cluster around 08:16–09:16 in the morning and around 13:40–14:40 in the middle of the day. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
The crossing is on Millfield Lane near York, North Yorkshire.
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.
We score this page against what actually happened on the railway: over the last 7 days that covered 210 trains through this crossing.
100.0% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 99.8% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±39s (9 in 10 within 129s). This scores when trains pass: barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
