On today’s timetable, Poppleton crossing is predicted to be closed for about 12 h 45 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 75 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.
Closures cluster around 07:32–08:32 in the morning and around 13:36–14:36 in the middle of the day. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Poppleton is a manual gate crossing (MGH) on the York–Harrogate line (North and East route · ELR HAY1). A signaller or crossing keeper closes the gates across the road 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 1,370 trains through this crossing.
100.0% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 98.2% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±28s (9 in 10 within 81s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
