About this crossing

How often it closes

On today’s timetable, Woodtown Road crossing is predicted to be closed for about 2 h 41 min between 06:00 and 22:00, across roughly 35 closures. The longest single predicted closure is 4 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 07:06–08:06 in the morning and around 16:31–17:31 in the afternoon. Gaps between closures are longest outside those windows. Other days run a different timetable, so the peaks move.

About this crossing

Woodtown Road is a automatic half-barrier crossing (AHB) on the Ballymena–Cullybackey line (NI Railways route). 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.
