How to Check Live Train Running Status — Guide
Live train running status tells you where your train is right now — which station it last left, which station it is heading to next, whether it is delayed, and the expected arrival time at your station. This information is essential when picking up someone from a railway station or planning a connecting journey. TrainPNRStatus.in fetches this data directly from Indian Railways in real time.
Check Live Train Status →Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check where my train is right now?
Use our Live Train Status tool. Enter the 5-digit train number. The tool shows the last station the train departed, the next station it is heading to, current delay (if any), and expected arrival/departure times at remaining stations — updated in real time.
How do I find my train number?
Your train number is a 5-digit number printed on your railway ticket (e.g., 12951 for Mumbai Rajdhani). It is also visible in your IRCTC booking confirmation. You can look up train numbers on our Train Info or Train Search tools.
How accurate is the live train location?
Train location data is sourced from Indian Railways via authorised APIs and is typically 5–15 minutes delayed from actual train position. The accuracy depends on Indian Railways' GPS and sensor network, which covers most mainline routes well.
Why is my train not showing any live data?
This can happen if: (a) The train hasn't started its journey yet — check closer to departure time. (b) The train number is incorrect — verify it on your ticket. (c) The train is in a coverage gap. (d) Indian Railways data is temporarily unavailable. Try refreshing after a few minutes.
Can I track train status for tomorrow's journey?
Live status is available only for trains currently running. For schedule and expected timings on future dates, use our Train Schedule tool to see timetable information for any train on any day.
