Signal-box-controlled level crossing on the East Coast route (ELR TJG2).
| No trains in the next 30 minutes. |
On today’s timetable, Thorne North Station crossing is predicted to be closed for about 3 h 54 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 51 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 7 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 06:59–07:59 in the morning and around 17:29–18:29 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Thorne North Station is a signal-box-controlled crossing (SBC) on the Down–Goole line (East Coast route · ELR TJG2). 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.
We score this page against what actually happened on the railway — over the last 7 days that covered 270 trains through this crossing.
91.9% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 98.1% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±41s (9 in 10 within 130s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
