Manually-controlled barrier with obstacle detection level crossing on the North and East route (ELR MAC3).
| No trains in the next 30 minutes. |
On today’s timetable, Wellowgate crossing is predicted to be closed for about 4 h 19 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 57 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 8 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 06:58–07:58 in the morning and around 12:39–13:39 in the middle of the day. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Wellowgate is a manually-controlled barrier with obstacle detection crossing (MCBOD) on the Cleethorpes–Great Coates line (North and East route · ELR MAC3). An obstacle-detection system scans the crossing and confirms it is clear before the barriers lower automatically. 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 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 ±133s (9 in 10 within 133s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
