Hi all,

I've always been fascinated by how massive the Indian Railways network is, but one thing I always disliked was changing trains because trains are rarely on time.

A lot of times I later found out that there was actually a direct train from a nearby station to somewhere close to my destination, but there was no easy way to discover routes like that properly.

That frustration is what motivated me to build this app.

The app plots train routes on a map and helps you explore trains passing through your selected stations.

Over time I added a few more features based on feedback from users, but one feature that personally helped me a lot is the Nearby Station Availability Finder.

For example, suppose a train route is:

You want to travel from C to F, but tickets are waitlisted. Many times tickets are still available from stations before or after your route, like A to F or B to H.

Those tickets may cost a little more, but at least you get a confirmed seat instead of depending completely on Tatkal.

I mostly built this app to solve problems I personally faced while travelling, and I hope it helps others as well.

This is not self promotion and there are no ads in the app, genuinely felt this app will be helpful for enthusiasts like me here.
