The Indian Railways have always been an integral part of our country’s transport. Rising above all other modes of transportation, due to its cost affectivity and accessibility, today it is the largest network of rails in the world. Train schedule refers to the arrival, departure, distance covered and days on track of a particular train.

The train schedule option provided by the Indian railways provides a complete schedule of a train with all stoppages and its scheduled arrival and departure at the station, distance and day count.

How does it work?

The train schedule by the Indian Railways requires you to enter a few digits of your reserved train or a few characters of your reserved train’s number. For instance, if you want to get the schedule of Shaktipunj express, you may type ‘shaktipunj’ or ‘11448’.

This is resulted by a list of stations the railway is going to stop at (the smallest of them) with their stoppage durations and other details afore mentioned.

It is as beneficial as you seem to think it is, or maybe more than that! If you’ve got to reach stations having no direct trains from your city, you may as well refer to this thorough list and book tickets via a junction that does provide you with a direct rail line. Also, it is a time saver if you’re a real money saver, you might make complete use of this provision. Now how you would go about doing THAT is completely your line of thought…!
