About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Stainforth Road crossing is predicted to be closed for about 58 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 19 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 3 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: 1.5 min (01:13–01:15, 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 10:56–11:56 in the morning and around 12:00–13:00 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 Stainforth Road in Barnby Dun, South Yorkshire.

Stainforth Road is a automatic half-barrier crossing (AHB) on the Scunthorpe–Knottingley T.M.D. line (East Coast route · ELR CJS). 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.
