What does this do?
It calculates when the level crossing gates will close at different crossings.
To do this, the application uses a data feed from Network Rail. It monitors every
train on the line and calculates how long it will take to get to the crossing.
Why did you build it?
As a local resident, I have been caught out by the gates several times. You might
usually know that the gates are down at certain times of the day, but that can be
impacted by train delays and freight trains. This solution can account for those things.
Can I download an App in the Appstore?
An app is currently in development and will launch very soon. The app will offer an improved
user experience with Siri integration and access to full historical data for each crossing.
Why are you asking for donations?
The site is non-commerical and ad-free. I want to keep it that way but I also pay about
£150 a year out of my own pocket to provide this to the community. I would definitely
appreciate any contributes toward that.
