On today’s timetable, Tinsley Avesta crossing is predicted to be closed for about 9 h 8 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 166 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.
Longest closure so far today: 1.5 min (00:04–00:06, 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 19:49–20:49 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Tinsley Avesta is a trainman-operated barrier crossing (TOB) on the Parkgate–Woodburn Road line (North and East route · ELR BTJ). 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 1,810 trains through this crossing.
100.0% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 96.5% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±30s (9 in 10 within 145s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
