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?
Yes, there is an iOS App, which you can download from the AppStore. For more information see about the app. Currently we only have an iOS app, no Android app yet!.
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. The app has a very small one-time charge to help recover
app specific costs. If you don't wish to, or cannot use the app and still would like to contribute please consider a donation to help cover the running costs.
