On today’s timetable, Salmon Pool crossing is predicted to be closed for about 2 h 17 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 50 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 4 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 10:26–11:26 in the morning and around 19:37–20:37 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
The crossing is in Salmonhutch, Devon.
Salmon Pool is a automatic barrier locally monitored crossing (ABCL) on the Taunton–Yeoford line (Western route · ELR NDN). 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.
