On today’s timetable, Sandscale crossing is predicted to be closed for about 1 h 3 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 23 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 06:00–07:00 in the morning and around 20:37–21:37 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
The crossing is on Sandscale Park near Dalton-in-Furness, Cumbria.
Sandscale is a automatic barrier locally monitored crossing (ABCL) on the Barrow-in-Furness–Millom line (North West route · ELR CBC1). 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.
