Automatic half-barrier level crossing on the East Midlands route (ELR NOB1).
| No trains in the next 30 minutes. |
On today’s timetable, Thorpe On The Hill crossing is predicted to be closed for about 3 h 8 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 67 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.
Closures cluster around 06:49–07:49 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.
We score this page against what actually happened on the railway — over the last 7 days that covered 287 trains through this crossing.
98.6% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 97.3% of the warnings we could verify came true.
