Tips for Train Tracking
- Journey date matters: Select the date when the train departed from its origin station, not the date you board
- Overnight trains: For trains that run overnight, use the previous day's date if the train started before midnight
- Status updates: Live status updates as the train passes through stations — refresh for the latest data
- Cancelled trains: If a train is cancelled, the tracker will show cancellation information
