Become flexible in train travelling this festive season

Ease your travelling with multiple train choices and live train tracking

We live in the age where information about anything and everything is readily available. But this information flow certainly lacks behind when it comes to train travelling. Information pre-requisite for travellers, from knowing the live train status (http://www.railyatri.in/live-train-status), PNR status (http://www.railyatri.in.pnr-status/)  to the platform location of the trains, specifically at the peak time of festival rush, is not present completely. And in any case if it is, it is a bit scattered which often disrupts the decision making tendencies of the passengers travelling by train thus making their whole journey experience stressful.

Breaking the stereotypical flow of information marked with train travelling in India, RailYatri is making efforts to bridge this information gap. Keeping in mind the busy schedules of day to day life, it not only provides flexibility in its information in terms of train options and timings, but also is a well thought live train status app. With a listing of all trains running between your stations you will have flexible choices for the dates you plan to travel even during the festival rush.

Steps to check train between stations are:

·         Download the RailYatri app from Google play store on your smart phones: rytr.in/and

We really can’t wait to go home while even on train and expect our trains to be on time. Some questions that often linger our mind are: How far have I travelled? How far am I from the destination? How late is my train? Which stations are up coming? All these questions are relevant and their answers lie in the proper tracking of live train status.
