For Indian railway trains, the term “live train running status” refers to each train’s precise location and any current delays. The projected train arrival time at upcoming stations is also included. Traditionally, live train running status is done either by visiting the official website or can be done by visiting the redRail app in just a few easy steps. But, What if you can easily track the live train status on Whatsapp? Yes, that’s right! redRail by redBus has rolled out free “live train tracking” on WhatsApp to offer real-time train updates for travelers. And not just that, RedBus is the first company to launch LTS (Live Train Status) directly on WhatsApp, and as such, this new feature and capability are now available.
