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.
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.
Plain guidance like "Go to Platform 4" or "Board in ~12 min" for the station you've pinned — never a guessed platform.
Every live card carries a freshness stamp — "Live · 2 min ago", "Refreshing…", or a plain "unable to fetch". Stale is never shown as fresh, and we never invent a value.
A live progress bar with distance to your destination and a confidence read-out, with every halt and its timing one tap below — no clutter, no duplicate views.
See where your coach sits along the platform. When the train reverses at a junction, the order flips automatically — so "towards the front" stays true for the station you board at.
One glance summarises every passenger — confirmed, RAC and waitlist counts — with coach, berth and the chart-preparation time. Failed checks are saved to retry.
Availability and full fare breakdowns across dates, classes and quotas, with a booking-confidence read-out.
Departures and arrivals at any station for the next 2–8 hours — full station names, a freshness stamp, and quick links to seats, history and live status.
2,385 stations and 2,486 trains bundled in for instant search and autocomplete. No signal on the train? It projects the timetable, clearly marked "approximate".
Optional local notifications when your tracked train runs late or its platform changes — generated on your device, nothing else.

Turn on alerts and Railcast taps you on the shoulder for delays and platform changes — nothing else.
Honest by default
Railcast shows real data from its rail-data source, always with how fresh it is. 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.
