On today’s timetable, Whiley Hill crossing is predicted to be closed for about 6 h 58 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 131 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.
Closures cluster around 08:56–09:56 in the morning and around 12:38–13:38 in the middle of the day. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.
Whiley Hill is a automatic half-barrier crossing (AHB) on the North Road–Darlington line (North and East route · ELR DAE1). 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 228 trains through this crossing.
98.2% of observed passes were being warned about on this page when they passed, and 97.4% of the warnings we could verify came true.
Typical timing error was ±31s (9 in 10 within 157s). This scores when trains pass — barrier movements aren't in the public feeds we can score against.
