About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Roxton Sidings crossing is predicted to be closed for about 4 h 23 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 52 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 9 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: 7.0 min (07:24–07:31, 2 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.

Worst times to cross today

Closures cluster around 10:48–11:48 in the morning and around 12:35–13:35 in the middle of the day. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.

About this crossing

The crossing is on Roxton Road near Immingham, Lincolnshire.

Roxton Sidings is a manually-controlled barrier with obstacle detection crossing (MCBOD) on the Stallingborough–Barton-on-Humber line (North and East route · ELR MAC3). 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.

How accurate is this forecast?
