Otherwise, if the train gets late, you may have to wait for hours and the whole day may get spoiled. Before going from home to the station, definitely check these 5 important things. This will save your time and also avoid unnecessary problems.
1. First of all check whether your train is late?
Due to fog, weather or traffic, many trains are running 10-10 hours or more late than their scheduled time. Before leaving the station, check the live train status by visiting NTES app, IRCTC website or the official app of Railways. Many times the train gets late, but passengers reach on time and get stuck on the platform for hours.
2. Please confirm the platform number
In the early morning and due to bad weather and fog cover, sometimes the platform may be changed at the last moment. Therefore, as soon as you reach the station, first look at the display board and keep listening to the announcements again and again. With this, you will not face much trouble by suddenly changing the platform.
3. Don’t forget to read PNR status and messages
Many people confirm the tickets, but ignore the messages from PNR and SMS information about train delay. Many times, information about train delay, route change or cancellation comes in the message in advance. Therefore, definitely check the PNR status and message.
4. Plan time according to your journey
If your train is between 5 am and 9 am or is going to pass through a foggy area, allow extra time for the connecting train or bus. Do not keep tight timings for important meetings or flights. A little planning can save you from huge losses.
5. Make small preparations before going to the station
Before going to the station in fog, keep your mobile fully charged, keep a power bank with you, wear clothes according to cold, fog or rain, if you are with elderly people or children, keep water and food, these things are most useful in the situation of waiting for hours.
