Automatic barrier locally monitored level crossing on the Wales route (ELR DJP).
Information only — always follow the signals and barriers at the crossing. Predictions may be wrong.

On today’s timetable, Tygwyn crossing is predicted to be closed for about 47 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 18 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 07:26–08:26 in the morning and around 18:18–19:18 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Tygwyn is a automatic barrier locally monitored crossing (ABCL) on the Harlech–Porthmadog line (Wales route · ELR DJP). 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 113 trains through this crossing.
100.0% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 100.0% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±3s (9 in 10 within 384s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
