Indian Railways Releases An App To Track Train Schedules On Windows 8 Smartphones

It’s about time that the Indian national railway system becomes Hi-Tech. Millions of Indians travel using the brilliant train system laid down in whole of India. Indian railways system has just launched an app for Windows 8 mobile users called National Train Enquiry System (NTES). The app will provide real-time train status updates and people can check for trains running from a particular station.

This is the first version of the app released by Indian railways and an Android version is expected soon. Before this, if one had to check for a particular train then they either had to goto www.indianrail.gov.in/ or www.irctc.co.in/. Here 80% of the times users would get a delayed response or no response due to extremely heavy load on these sites. Hopefully that is not the case with the new Windows 8 App.
