How to Check Live Train Status

Live train status tells you how a train is running on a specific journey date. It is different from the planned train schedule.

What live status shows

Live status can show the train's current or last reported station, next station, delay in minutes, expected arrival and actual arrival or departure where available.

Because it is journey-day information, you should use the correct train and date when checking.

Live status vs schedule

Schedule is the official planned timetable. Live status is the present running information for a train today or on the selected journey date.

For example, scheduled arrival can be 10:30 while expected arrival today is 11:05. The live status explains the 11:05 estimate.

Best way to check

Enter the train details supported by the live status tool, choose the journey date if required, and compare current delay with your station's expected arrival.

Recheck closer to the station arrival time because delay can increase or reduce during the journey.

FAQ

Does live status replace train schedule?

No. Live status shows current running information; schedule remains the planned timetable.

Why should I recheck live status?

Expected times can change as the train moves and operational conditions change.
