Train Platform Number — Live Station Board
Find platform number of your train at any station. Live station board shows train platform, arrival time, delay, and coach position — free on Rail 24.
Finding the right platform number before your train arrives saves precious minutes at busy junctions like New Delhi, Mumbai CSMT, Howrah, and Chennai Central. Rail 24's Live Station Status shows upcoming arrivals with platform allocations.
How platform allocation works at major terminals
Platform allocation at large junctions like New Delhi (NDLS, 16 platforms), Howrah (HWH, 23 platforms), and Mumbai CSMT changes dynamically based on line congestion, signal scheduling, and delays. Rail 24 feeds the latest official station board data to help you navigate terminals smoothly.
Finding coach position relative to platform
Once you verify the platform number, check the coach composition on the Train Info page. This shows where AC first class (1A), AC 2-Tier (2A), AC 3-Tier (3A), Sleeper (SL), and General (GEN) coaches typically align relative to the engine so you can wait at the correct zone.
How to find your train's platform
- Go to Live Station Status.
- Enter the station code (e.g. NDLS for New Delhi, CSMT for Mumbai, HWH for Howrah).
- Select the time window (2–8 hours) and click Get Status.
- Your train will appear with its expected platform number, delay, and arrival time.
