Platform Locator helps passengers know the exact platform number on which their desired train usually arrives based on information from previous history. This is one of the fastest and most reliable ways to get the correct information about the platform number on which the train arrives.
If you want to know on which platform your train arrives, all you need to do is enter the train name or number in the input box and select the station from the dropdown for which you need to enquire then hit the "Get Platform No." button. By doing so, the platform number will be displayed along with details such as the arrival and departure times of trains at that station, zone, and address of that station.
The platform locator helps passengers know exactly where their train will arrive, reducing confusion and stress. By knowing the platform in advance, passengers can save time and avoid rushing at the last minute. This is especially helpful in large or busy train stations where finding the right platform can be challenging. For travelers with heavy luggage, kids, or those with mobility issues, knowing the platform number early makes it easier to navigate the station. Overall, it makes catching your train more organized and less hectic.
Most of the time, the platform information served by Indian Train is correct, but sometimes, due to the last-minute change of platform by the station master, its information gets compromised. As we all know, the platform number isn't declared in advance, and it's decided by the station master within an hour. However, sometimes, due to overcrowding of trains at the station, they change the platform no. without any prior notice. Platform Locator shows the platform no. based on the available arrival and departure history of the train, so to avoid the last-minute hassle, you just need to confirm the platform no. from the railway enquiry counter or from the local coolies or hawkers who are there at the platforms regularly.
