Live Train Status

You can track your train by entering the 5-digit train number (e.g. 12625) or train name in the search box above, selecting the journey date, and clicking Track Train. You will get the live station-by-station position, delays, and platform numbers.

Indian Railways trains are equipped with GPS trackers (via the Real-time Train Information System or RTIS) which send GPS coordinates to satellites. This data is processed and shown as the live location of the train.

This status appears if the train has not yet departed from its source (originating) station for the selected journey date, or if there is a delay in updating the initial departure data.

Platform numbers are based on the historical and current NTES database. While they are usually 90%+ accurate, platform allocations can change at the last minute due to operational requirements at the station. Always cross-check with station displays.

STA (Scheduled Time of Arrival) is the official time the train is scheduled to arrive at a station. STD (Scheduled Time of Departure) is the official time the train is scheduled to leave. ATA and ATD represent the Actual arrival and departure times respectively.

To get real-time GPS updates, an internet connection is required. However, if you are sitting inside the train, some apps can fetch locations using cellular tower signals offline. Our online tool requires a basic network connection to query live NTES servers.
