Why do trains get rescheduled or cancelled?

As the fourth largest train network, the Indian Railways have a lot of work to do regularly, whether it is improving the rail tracks or making changes in the trains themselves. This is one of the reasons why trains get diverted, cancelled or rescheduled on regular basis.

However, the weather is also an important factor as flooding on rail tracks, landslides and other natural disasters affect the railways' movement. Hence, the Indian railways prefer to stay safe by protecting people and avoiding risks.

How to check if your train is cancelled or not?

If you are a frequent traveller or visiting your home town, the railway schedule is the most important thing to be checked regularly. Though there are multiple ways to check it, we would advise you to follow the official website of IRCTC or the National Train Enquiry System (NTES) for genuine information.

1. Search NTES on Google India or directly visit the Indian railway's official website- www.indianrail.gov.in/mntes for all the exceptional trains.
2.  Click or tap on the tab "exceptional trains" on the right side of the website for proceeding.
3. A list of rescheduled, diverted or cancelled trains will be displayed instantly.
4. Now, you can check the lists separately and plan your next trip accordingly.
