Getting to know about trains between stations has never been easier!

The Indian Railways has introduced some splendid services for the benefit of its passengers. Today, passengers can get valuable information from the official portal of the Indian Railways with just a click. One of the most sought-after services is about the number of trains between stations. People who want to plan their travel well in advance find this service quite helpful as they can get a list of trains that run between a particular pair of stations in seconds.

Checking for trains between important stations is now a breeze as the passenger just needs to key in some basic details in order to get the full updates. A passenger can key in any two stations as the source and destination, select the date of journey and class of accommodation and click on submit. The official portal of Indian Railways then throws up an exhaustive list of trains that run between those stations, time of departure at the source station, time of arrival at the destination station, train number, train name, time taken to travel between the two stations, days when the train is operated etc.
Passengers do not have to know the codes of the source and destination stations to check the list of trains between stations. It is enough if they enter 3 or 4 characters of the name of the station’s name as the system automatically populates the same. Apart from getting the full list of train names and numbers, passengers can also get to know about their availability of seats, fare, schedule etc. by choosing a particular train from the list that is displayed.


This feature of getting the list of trains between important stations is indeed a huge support for passengers for planning their trip. They can plan their travel based on the arrival and departure time of the trains at the respective stations where they plan to board and get down. These trains are also accompanied with important information like the days during which they run, so that passengers can book tickets accordingly. Since the class of accommodation is already keyed in at the time of entering the source and destination codes, only those trains that have that particular class are displayed on the screen, making the job of the passengers easier. The source station need not necessarily be the station from where a train starts. Special “*” marks are included in these trains to denote that the source is not the originating station.
