RailOne app offers real-time train and coach details: Ashwini Vaishnaw
Ashwini Vaishnaw told the Lok Sabha that train timings, platform details and coach positions are available through mobile applications, station display systems and public announcements, responding to concerns over the absence of coach display facilities at certain railway stations
New Delhi: Information regarding train placement at platforms, coach positions of reserved trains, and train arrival and departure timings are available through multiple channels, including mobile applications, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw informed the Lok Sabha on Wednesday.
JD(U) MP Kaushalendra Kumar raised the issue of the lack of a coach display and train indicator system at multiple railway stations, including Bihar Sharif and Rajgir in Nalanda district under the Danapur Division of the East Central Railway zone.
He sought the Railway minister’s response on the timeline for providing coach display and train indicator systems at these stations. Kumar said that in the absence of these systems, passengers, particularly senior citizens, women, and patients, face difficulties and sometimes even miss their trains.
“Information regarding train placement at platforms, coach positions of reserved trains, and trains arrival and departure timings is available through multiple channels, including mobile applications such as RailOne,” Vaishnaw said in a written reply.
He added, “In addition to the Coach Guidance System (CGS)/Coach Indication Boards (CIBs), Train Indication Boards (TIBs) and standard signages provided at stations, these information are also disseminated locally through the Public Address System for the convenience of passengers.”
