Trainenquiry.com, the available website to know the well-being of the trains throughout India is a website that helps user to know the exact timings of its running. It just needs the name of the train or the number it has to locate whether it is on time or not?
But the improved version of the website by CRIS, the IT department of the Indian Railways is an interesting one as it not only tells about the time factor but also helps in tracing the exact location of your train in the country.
Apart from this, it is so user friendly that if the user does not remember the train’s name he can just type the two stations name. For instance, if you do not remember your train’s name then just type the stations name from where it is to start and end like from Delhi to Hyderabad and you will be provided with all the trains of that route. Also, AJAX helps this website to be more users friendly as it helps user in suggesting names while typing.
Moreover, after tracing the train one can get the exact time of the departure and arrivals at the previous stations and the expected time to reach the other one. Thus, the traveller can be well acquainted with the time slots for moving to the station.
Since the apps of the website is still in the pipeline and would be available in few weeks’ time till then you can have a look to the newer version of this website through trainenquiry.com/searchtrain.aspx, a highly commendable job by the IT people which may not be available on mobiles at present but still you can get some information about it.
I wish if it could be available on Google Map then it would be a milestone in an era of Indian Railways as it would show the search results visually which would have a greater impact on the user. So, be ready to plan your journey through this tracing facility!
Few days back also there was announcement for Real Time Train Tracking On Google Maps by the Indian Railways.
