Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q. How does running status work?

A: A GPS-aided device is installed on the locomotive that pushes/pulls the train. When the locomotive leaves its source station, the device tracks this departure and collects data on all the upcoming stations the train will travel to. This is how we are able to know the current location, speed, and any delays on a train journey.

Q. How do I know where is my train?

A: To check train status and know where is your train, download the ixigo Trains app and make use of the ‘Running Status’ feature. Enter your train name/number and know the live running status of your train.

Q. How do I know where is my train now through SMS?

A: To track your train live via SMS, send a message from your mobile phone with the following text: SPOT 'Train Number' or LOCATE 'Train Number' to ‘139’.

Q. Which date should I select while checking the train live running status?

A: You should select the date on which the train departed from its source station. For example, if your scheduled date of journey is today, but your train left the source station yesterday, then you should select yesterday's date for accurate IRCTC train tracking.

Q. How can I check if my train is rescheduled?

A: To know if your train has been rescheduled or not, please search for your train name and number on ixigo's website or app. Passengers can immediately get information about the train running status. This information includes the exact location and newest information about any train.

Q. What is the coach position of a train?

A: A train’s coach position refers to its location relative to the engine. For example, if the coach position number is 9, it means that it is the 9th coach starting from the engine. Use the Ixigo Trains app to find the current position of your coach.

Q. How do I check the ETA of a train?

A: To check the estimated time of arrival (ETA), use the ixigo Trains app. Go to ‘Running Status’ on the home screen, and simply enter the five-digit train number or the name of the train. Then, select the date of journey from the source station. This will display the arrival and departure times of your train for your boarding station.

Q. What is the IRCTC train enquiry number for Railways?

A: ‘139’ is the IRCTC train enquiry number for the Indian Railways. It is an integrated helpline known as ‘Rail Madad’ that provides train information to callers from any part of the country.
