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.
