eTrain Running Status and PNR

Indian Railways is operated by the Ministry of Railways and is the chief mode of transport for a majority of people in the country. It runs both the freight trains and the passenger trains. Every day over 20,000 passenger trains run in both long-distance and suburban routes. Since most people prefer railways as their chief mode of transport, railways experience a heavy rush of passengers.

When it comes to holidays, the rush further amplifies, and passengers often struggle to get confirmed tickets for their travel. IRCTC is the subsidiary of Indian Railways and facilitates online ticket operations.

At eTrainStatus, you can get all the information related to Indian Railways, starting from PNR, trains between two stations, to train running status, and many more.

PNR Status:

Whenever a passenger makes a booking for his travel through Indian railways, he is allotted a ten-digit number called the PNR number. PNR is an acronym for Passenger Name Record and is present in the database of the Indian Railways Computer Reservation System (IR-CRS).

PNR features all the details related to a passenger and includes passenger name, age, gender, columns for current booking status, and current status of the ticket. In the case of unconfirmed tickets, passengers are allotted Wait List status. Most of the time, the passengers book travel tickets well in advance to get confirmed tickets.

In case of completion of confirmed ticket quota, the passengers are granted waitlist status. Indian Railways prepares the chart featuring the details of confirmed passengers along with their PNR numbers three hours before the scheduled departure of the train from the origin station.

In general, the train travel tickets are booked well in advance, many passengers cancel their travel tickets in case of a change in their travel schedule. So, the passengers with the waitlist status would be upgraded to confirmed status. The process is similar to the tickets booked under Tatkal quota, wherein passengers can book tickets, one day before their travel. But the Tatkal fares are a bit higher than the tickets booked via general reservation.

PNR status allows the passenger's waitlist status to check their ticket reservation status from time to time. They can do so until preparing the final chart. One can check the PNR Status by multiple means such as the Indian Railway official website, IRCTC, NTES, eTrainStatus Trainman, Rail Yatri, MakeMyTrip, eRail, Cleartrip and more.

Trains between stations:

Indian Railways (IR) has a vast network of railway connectivity along the length and breadth of the country. To keep the passengers educated about various trains running between stations, IR has a database dubbed the trains between stations. With these features, the passengers would get to know the list of trains that run between two stations, their scheduled arrival and departure, train route map, trains status between stations, and so on. Many websites and apps give complete information that runs between two stations. It includes the list of trains between stations, the distance between stations, operating days, train timings, and many other options. At eTrainStatus, we provide the accurate information related to the trains between stations.

Train running status:

Live train status is an excellent feature offered by the Indian Railways that shows the live running status of almost any train.
