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 "Arriving soon" for the station you've pinned — never a guessed platform.
Confirmation status, coach & berth, confirmation chance, and when the chart is expected — in one tap. 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, each with quick links to seats, history and live status.
The last completed run, a multi-day punctuality trend, a delay sparkline with average speed, halt times and coach position.
Optional local notifications when your tracked train is running late or its platform changes — generated on your device.
2,385 stations and 2,486 trains bundled in for instant search and autocomplete — no codes to memorise.

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.
