Gary, when I tried it the ISS crossed the sun in under a second - 7 frames at 25fps.
Have you seen

It's giving me a solar transit for 26 Apr 07:53:24 AEST a mere 68km from here and a lunar transit better suited to the Newcastle crew for 28 Apr 22:48:05 AEST.
It seems fairly good. It put the ISS on the top half of the sun rather than across the centre so I was a bit far west - probably a couple of hundred metres. You could feed the coords of a suitable place on the predicted track into Heavens Above or CalSky for a second opinion.
