Live Train Status Guides
Where Is My Train?
Where is my train is the passenger question live train status tries to answer: where the train was last reported and what it means for upcoming stations.
Current train location
Live status may show the last crossed station, current station or next station depending on available running data.
This helps you understand whether the train is approaching your station, has already passed a point, or is delayed on the route.
Last, current and next station
Last station means the train has crossed or reported at that station. Current station can indicate where it is presently reported. Next station is the upcoming scheduled stop.
These fields should be read with delay and expected arrival, not in isolation.
Journey date matters
Many train numbers run repeatedly, so journey date is important. Checking the wrong date can show information for a different run of the same train.
Use live status for today's running information and train schedule for the planned route.
FAQ
What does last crossed station mean?
It is the latest station the train has passed or reported from in the live status data.
Can current location change quickly?
Yes. Live status can update as new running information is received.
Do I need the Where is my Train app to find my train?
No. Apps like Where is my Train and a Google search can show train location, but you can also find and track your train here in the browser: enter the train number in the live status tool, with no app install needed.
Is this like Spot Your Train on NTES?
Spot Your Train is the NTES feature for live train position. Railopedia answers the same where is my train question by train number, as an independent site.
