About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Scopwick crossing is predicted to be closed for about 2 h 21 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 34 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: 3.2 min (00:01–00:04, 1 train), 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 07:18–08:18 in the morning and around 17:23–18:23 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.

About this crossing

Scopwick 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.

How accurate is this forecast?

We score this page against what actually happened on the railway — over the last 7 days that covered 4 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 ±46s (9 in 10 within 125s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
