How to Check Live Train Running Status

To check live train running status, enter the train number (e.g. 12301) or train name (e.g. Rajdhani) in the search box, select today's date, then solve the IRCTC captcha. You'll see the current position of the train, total delay, and station-wise actual arrival & departure times — all sourced live from indianrail.gov.in.

What does running status show?

Current position of the train, total delay in minutes, and station-wise actual arrival/departure vs scheduled times, updated in near real-time from Indian Railways.

Running status vs schedule — difference?

Schedule is the fixed timetable. Running status is today's actual position — where the train is right now, how late it is, and what time it actually crossed each station.

How accurate is the data?

Data comes live from indianrail.gov.in. Station reporting can have a 15–30 min lag in remote areas. For major junctions it's near real-time.

Can I check past or future dates?

Past dates (recent) are supported. Future dates are not — the train hasn't run yet. Use the date picker to check yesterday's or today's run.
