Train Running Status
NTES which stands for National Train Enquiry System is an Indian Railway portal which provides regular and helpful information to general public about the train running status, route information, train schedule, delay status and much more useful information via Web, Mobile and Landline.
Even though Indian Railways make all-out efforts to run all the passenger trains on time, sometimes trains get delayed, rescheduled, cancelled or diverted to another route resulting in change in the actual Arrival/Departure time from their scheduled time. In such situation, it is better to check the current train running status beforehand to avoid any inconvenience. To server this purpose, Indian Railway launched an official train enquiry website (www.trainenquiry.com) which now redirects to the National Train Enquiry System website (enquiry.indianrail.gov.in).
