On today’s timetable, Poppleton crossing is predicted to be closed for about 3 h 58 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 59 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 3 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 06:44–07:44 in the morning and around 18:48–19:48 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
The crossing is on Station Road in Upper Poppleton, North Yorkshire, next to Poppleton station.
Poppleton is a manual gate crossing (MGH) on the York–Milford West Sidings 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 208 trains through this crossing.
100.0% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 99.0% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±49s (9 in 10 within 166s). This scores when trains pass: barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
