On today’s timetable, Rovie crossing is predicted to be closed for about 20 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 8 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 08:08–09:08 in the morning and around 15:00–16:00 in the afternoon. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
The crossing is on Dalmore Road in West Pittentrail, Highland.
Rovie is a automatic open level crossing with barriers crossing (AOCLB) on the Tain–Golspie line (Scotland route · ELR WCK). The approaching train itself triggers the closure at a fixed point on its approach. 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 3 trains through this crossing.
100.0% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 100.0% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±74s (9 in 10 within 124s). This scores when trains pass: barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
