On today’s timetable, Rowston crossing is predicted to be closed for about 1 h 57 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 21 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 6 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: 10.0 min (12:32–12:42, 3 trains), 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 07:20–08:20 in the morning and around 16:50–17:50 in the afternoon. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Rowston is a manually-controlled barrier with obstacle detection crossing (MCBOD) on the Peterborough North Yd GBRf–Lincoln line (East Midlands route · ELR SPD2). An obstacle-detection system scans the crossing and confirms it is clear before the barriers lower automatically. 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 377 trains through this crossing.
100.0% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 99.5% of the warnings we could verify came true.
