Question 1

How to check train running status?

Accepted Answer

Enter the train number in the search box above and click 'Track Train'. You will see real-time station-by-station tracking with arrival/departure times, delays, and platform numbers. The status is updated every few minutes based on GPS tracking data from Indian Railways.

Question 2

How accurate is the live train running status?

Accepted Answer

The live train running status is based on real-time data from Indian Railways' GPS tracking system. The data is typically accurate to within 5-10 minutes. However, in remote areas with poor connectivity, updates may be less frequent. The status is refreshed every 2-5 minutes.

Question 3

Can I check running status for any train?

Accepted Answer

You can check the running status for any Indian Railways train including Rajdhani, Shatabdi, Duronto, Garib Rath, Superfast, Express, Mail, and Passenger trains. The train must be currently running (departed from source but not yet arrived at destination) for live tracking.

Question 4

What does delay time mean in train running status?

Accepted Answer

Delay time shows how many minutes late the train is compared to its scheduled time. A positive number (e.g., +15 min) means the train is running late. If it shows 'On Time', the train is running as per schedule. Delays can vary station to station as trains sometimes recover lost time.

Question 5

How to check train running status by PNR number?

Accepted Answer

While you cannot directly check running status via PNR number, you can first check your PNR status to find your train number, and then use that train number to track the live running status. Visit our PNR Status page to find your train number from your PNR.

Question 6

Does the running status show platform number?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the live running status shows platform numbers for stations where this information is available. Platform numbers are usually updated 1-2 hours before the train arrives at a station. For upcoming stations, platform numbers may show as 'TBD' until closer to arrival.
