From PNR, Train tracking to food ordering, RailYatri makes your travel all easy

India has one of the largest rail networks in the world and Indian railways run several trains on many occasions but these trains anyways lack the capacity to fulfil the desires of the train passengers in India. Though, modern day passengers always view the historical run time data of any train before fixing their choice of trains through the train running status.If a train is punctual the demand for tickets in that given train is sky high. As a result, more often than not PNR status for these trains show high waitlist counts, discouraging the normal passengers from booking tickets in such trains.
There are ways to counter this problem too. With RailYatri.in getting to know about your live train status, train between stations, PNR status, Time-table is quite easy. Here are a list of features that will help the passengers save their time and money. Let us take a run through some of these features:
  • Delay at Station: When you are travelling to a specific station, there will be hundreds of trains ready to take you there. But, it is not wise to book tickets in any train you come across. Delay at Station feature available at the Indian Railways live train status, train between status, trains between stations, PNR status, time table website provides much deeper insights into the running of trains to a particular station then the live train status. When you search by the name of your destination station, the website will quickly fetch information about the 50 days’ delay status for each and every train visiting that station.
  • PNR Confirmation Probability: Don’t just view the list of timely trains, rather go on and create a list of these. Once done, search for tickets in the best performing trains. If you find that PNR status in some or most of these trains shows high waitlist count, do not be discouraged in any sense. So, how to check whether the risk is worth taking? Simply use the Confirmation Probability feature, and the probability score is rated in High, Medium and Low.
  • Save my Trips: Immediately after you have booked the tickets, make a small effort to save the trip in “My Trips” of the RailYatri app. By doing so, you will receive automatic notifications regarding the progress of your ticket. Other important announcements regarding the train or any disruptions will be sent to you through the notifications. Notifications by RailYatri make sure that whatever is the PNR status of a passenger, he/she can stop worrying.
  • Rail Radar: Apart from being a good to know information, just check the status of your train in the Rail Radar GPS and you will quickly understand the extent of delay and the reason for it. If your train is waiting in the middle of nowhere for unusually long, then you can check the data for the route and understand what is causing the delay.
