The railway stations will be noisy with announcements and electronic boards. The electronic boards display the various trains times along with the delay status and the arrival of the trains in to the platforms of the railway station. The passengers after getting the train ticket must get the details of the trains times from the announcements and the electronic digital boards about the arrival and departure of the train. Some times the trains will be delayed by several hours and the passengers will have to wait all the time in the railway station to catch the train.

The trains times can also be obtained from the week end news papers. The railway web site is another huge source to obtain the trains times. The passengers will have to log in to the railway web site and enter the train number to get the details like the arrival time, departure time, source and destination of the train, the various stops of the train, ticket fare etc. The reservation ticket status can also be obtained from the web site of the railways. The rail way web site is made user friendly and passengers can reserve their train tickets on line using their credit or debit cards.

Then after reserving the ticket, the passenger will have to take a print out of the ticket that has been confirmed with the payment on line. This printed slip will be treated as the train ticket and the TTR will issue a ticket in the train or accept the print out as the train ticket. The reserved seat and the passenger list will be stuck on the train compartments which the passengers can verify and occupy their respective seats. The web site is very much useful to perform all sorts of transactions.

The trains times often change from the standard time due to the delay caused by the trains in their travel or due to the presence of another train on the way. Some times the delay may be due to repairs in the train tracks and rails and to avoid accidents, the trains will be stopped in the middle of the journey for some hours. When the train starts from a source station, normally it will start in that particular time and there will be no delays in this regard. Train is one of the safest and comfortable forms of transport that can be afforded by all classes of people.
