On today’s timetable, Turton crossing is predicted to be closed for about 1 h 19 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 32 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 2 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 06:05–07:05 in the morning and around 18:06–19:06 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
The crossing is on Station Road in Chapeltown, Lancashire.
Turton is a automatic open level crossing with barriers crossing (AOCLB) on the Bolton–Clitheroe line (North West route · ELR BBB). 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 199 trains through this crossing.
95.0% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 99.2% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±553s (9 in 10 within 740s). This scores when trains pass: barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
