How can I know the exact time of my train?

How to Determine the Exact Time of Your Train

Knowing the exact time of your train is essential for planning your journey. Here’s how you can find out:

Online Tracking Platforms:

• National Train Enquiry System (NTES) – Spot Your Train: Visit the NTES website and select “Spot Your Train.” Enter the train number or name, and the departure station. The platform will display real-time information on the running status, platform assignments, and any delays.

Mobile Apps:

• National Rail Enquiries: Download the National Rail Enquiries app on your smartphone. Enter the train information and track its progress in real time.

Departure Boards at Stations:

• Departure boards at railway stations provide information about upcoming train departures, including estimated arrival and departure times.

Station Announcements:

• Listen to station announcements for updates on train schedules. Announcers often provide information about delays or changes in arrival or departure times.

Call or Email the Train Operator:

• Contact the train operator’s customer service line or email their support team for specific information on train timings.

Tips for Accurate Timings:

• Check multiple sources to cross-reference the information.
• Consider possible delays due to weather, signal failures, or other disruptions.
• Allow extra time for unexpected delays, especially during peak hours or adverse weather conditions.
• Arrive at the station at least 15-30 minutes before the scheduled departure time to give yourself ample time for any changes or platform assignments.
