On today’s timetable, Thorpe Road crossing is predicted to be closed for about 4 h 27 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 94 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: 1.5 min (00:26–00:27, 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.
Closures cluster around 08:11–09:11 in the morning and around 13:10–14:10 in the middle of the day. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Thorpe Road is a automatic half-barrier crossing (AHB) on the Scunthorpe B.S.C.(Ent.C.)–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.
We score this page against what actually happened on the railway — over the last 7 days that covered 815 trains through this crossing.
100.0% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 98.5% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±28s (9 in 10 within 87s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
