Indian Railways has rolled out RailOne, a handy new mobile app that bundles all its train services into a single space. Available on both Android and iPhone, the app aims to make travel smoother by replacing those separate apps like IRCTC, UTS, Rail Madad, and NTES with one easy tool.
What Is RailOne?
RailOne works as a one-stop shop for everything railway, letting travellers do things like:
- Booking reserved and unreserved tickets
- Purchasing platform tickets
- Tracking PNR status, train locations, and coach position
- Registering complaints and submitting feedback
- Accessing train schedules and real-time updates
The app has a clean, simple layout, so regular commuters and first-time travellers can use it without hassle.
