Check delay with train number

A train number is enough to open current running status, live location, and delay minutes for most Indian Railways trains.

Use alerts when delay matters

If you are waiting to leave home or receive someone, set a delay alert so you do not have to refresh repeatedly.

Combine delay and route context

Delay alone is not enough. Look at current location and next station ETA to understand how serious the delay is.
