Soton Crossings

Soton Crossings tells you whether the barriers at Mount Pleasant Road level crossing (St Denys, Southampton) are down right now — and when they're likely to close next.

It works from live Network Rail signalling: when a train sets a route over the crossing, we see it, so you get a heads-up before you set off rather than watching it on a camera or guessing from the timetable.

• Live open / barriers-down status, with a friendly estimate of when they'll lift

• Upcoming closures — booked and live — with the trains involved

• Tap any train for its full schedule

• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, so a glance is all it takes

• "Hey Siri, check Soton Crossings" for a spoken answer on the go

This is an independent, best-guess aid built from open railway data — it is NOT an official source and is not affiliated with Network Rail. Always obey the crossing's own lights, alarms and barriers; never use this app to decide whether it is safe to cross.
