About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Valley crossing is predicted to be closed for about 3 h 40 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 49 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.

Worst times to cross today

Closures cluster around 07:56–08:56 in the morning and around 19:50–20:50 in the evening. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.

About this crossing

The crossing is on Station Road in Y Fali / Valley, Anglesey, next to Valley station.

Valley is a manually-controlled barrier crossing (MCB/MB) on the Talacre–Holyhead line (Wales route · ELR CNH3). A signaller monitors the crossing, confirms it is clear, and lowers the barriers ahead of each train. 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.
