On today’s timetable, Thorpe On The Hill crossing is predicted to be closed for about 3 h 14 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 70 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.
Longest closure so far today: 3.3 min (07:56–07:59, 2 trains), 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.
Closures cluster around 08:22–09:22 in the morning and around 15:26–16:26 in the afternoon. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Thorpe On The Hill is a automatic half-barrier crossing (AHB-X) on the Newark North Gate–Worksop line (East Midlands route · ELR NOB1). 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.
