Monsoon Train Alert: As soon as the monsoon season arrives, problems like waterlogging and land slippage occur in many parts of the country. In such a situation, many times the timings of trains are changed, some trains are rescheduled and some even have to be cancelled. This is the reason why if you have planned to go somewhere by train, then it is not wise to leave home just by looking at the ticket or relying on the old timing. Whenever you leave home for the train in the rain, you should check the status of the train from home beforehand.

Many passengers reach the station at the scheduled time of the train and after reaching there, they get information about the train being canceled or delayed. This not only wastes time, but can also spoil the expense of reaching the station and planning for further travel. Let us know the easy ways to check status.

If you are leaving home to catch a train during monsoon, then first confirm whether the train has been canceled or there has been no change in its timings. If the internet speed is slow or you are facing difficulty in using the mobile app, then you can get information from the railway helpline 139. Before calling, keep your train number and date of journey with you and get information by calling this number.

Before catching the train during monsoon, you can also check the status of your train from RailOne app sitting at home. Indian Railways’ RailOne app provides ticket booking as well as live train status and PNR status. You can also book train tickets with the help of this app. You can get the latest information to trains on your phone.

Before catching the train, you should check its live location status. It is considered right to do this not only during monsoon but at all times. For this you can use National Train Inquiry System (NTES). NTES is available on both website and mobile app. By entering the train number or name here, it can be seen whether the train is on time, how late it is running or whether it has been cancelled.
