The National Train Enquiry System (NTES) is a magical and revolutionary way to discover what trains are running next, where they’re going, how long the journey will take, and how many ticket types are available. You can quickly check IRCTC PNR status, train running status, and train schedule.
What is NTES?
As per reports, it is the same as www.indianrail.gov.in, the official website of Indian Railways. It is not an application for mobile phones but a website. National Informatics Centre has developed it, and the first service was launched in April 2002. The site offers information on all passenger railway stations in India and provides comprehensive details of train schedules and ticketing availability, among other facilities. More and more people are using this site to book tickets, especially in the new age of youth like us. Also, Now with railofy, you can book tickets and even order food on the train seamlessly.
