On today’s timetable, Paignton North crossing is predicted to be closed for about 5 h 22 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 59 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.
Longest closure so far today: 3.2 min (00:01–00:04, 1 train), timed from trains actually seen on the signalling wire — the window edges use the same per-type margins as the forecast, since barrier positions aren't in any feed we can read.
Closures cluster around 09:16–10:16 in the morning and around 12:44–13:44 in the middle of the day. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Paignton North is a cctv-monitored manual barrier crossing (CCTV) on the Exeter St. David's–Goodrington C.H.S line (Western route · ELR TOR). 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.
We score this page against what actually happened on the railway — over the last 7 days that covered 523 trains through this crossing.
100.0% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 99.1% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±21s (9 in 10 within 166s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
