On today’s timetable, Paignton South crossing is predicted to be closed for about 21 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 9 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 2 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 10:03–11:03 in the morning and around 13:35–14:35 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 Sands Road in Paignton, Devon, next to Paignton Queens Park station.
Paignton South is a trainman-operated barrier crossing (TMOB) on the Paignton–Goodrington Sands line (Western route · ELR TOR). 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.
