What it does

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Answer-first screens that tell you what's happening and what to do next — like the best transit apps, built for Indian Railways.

🚆
Live running status

Where your train is and when it reaches your station, with day-aware delays and estimated times clearly labelled as estimates — never wrong by a day.

🧭
Clear next step

Plain guidance like "Go to Platform 4" or "Arriving soon" for the station you've pinned — never a guessed platform.

🎫
PNR status

Confirmation status, coach & berth, confirmation chance, and when the chart is expected — in one tap. Failed checks are saved to retry.

🪑
Seats & fare

Availability and full fare breakdowns across dates, classes and quotas, with a booking confidence read-out.

🕑
Station live board

Departures and arrivals at any station for the next 2–8 hours, each with quick links to seats, history and live status.

📈
History & punctuality

The last completed run, a multi-day punctuality trend, a delay sparkline with average speed, halt times and coach position.

🔔
Delay & platform alerts

Optional local notifications when your tracked train is running late or its platform changes — generated on your device.

🔌
Works offline

2,385 stations and 2,486 trains bundled in for instant search and autocomplete — no codes to memorise.

How it works

From open to answer in seconds

Search anything

Type a train number, 10-digit PNR, or a city/station name. Offline autocomplete resolves it instantly.

Pin your station

Tell RailCast where you're boarding to get a personal "what to do next" with platform guidance.

See it live

Live position, delay and ETA update automatically, with the platform shown the moment it's known.

Get a nudge

Turn on alerts and RailCast taps you on the shoulder for delays and platform changes — nothing else.

Our promise

Honest by default

RailCast shows real data from its rail-data source. When information isn't available, we say so plainly — we never invent schedules, statuses, platforms or predictions. There are no ads, we don't sell your data, and no account is required.

RailCast is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Indian Railways, IRCTC, CRIS, or the Ministry of Railways. Railway names and trademarks belong to their respective owners.
Good to know

Frequently asked

Is RailCast free?
Yes — completely free, with no ads and no account. We don't sell or share your data.
Can I book tickets in RailCast?
No. RailCast is an information tool — it doesn't sell tickets or take payments. For bookings, use IRCTC's authorised channels.
How accurate is the live status?
It reflects the data our rail-data provider reports. Delays are computed from full timestamps so they stay correct across midnight on multi-day trains, and estimates are labelled as estimates. When data is missing we show a clear "not available" rather than a guess.
Why isn't a platform showing?
Platforms are often published only shortly before arrival. RailCast shows one the moment it's known (and remembers the last known one), but never invents a platform number.
Do I need to be online?
Search and autocomplete work offline using a bundled directory of 2,385 stations and 2,486 trains. Live status, PNR, seats and fares need a connection to fetch fresh data.
What data do you collect?
No personal accounts and nothing tied to your identity. Only the train/PNR/station you look up is sent to fetch results. Full detail in our Privacy Policy.
