Frequently Asked Questions

What is a railway station code and how is it used?

A railway station code is a unique 2-5 character identifier assigned to each railway station in India. These codes are used throughout the Indian Railways system for train scheduling, ticket booking on IRCTC, PNR enquiry, train tracking, and official railway communications. For example, New Delhi station uses the code NDLS, Chennai Central uses MAS, and Mumbai Central uses MMCT. When booking tickets online or checking train schedules, you'll need to enter these station codes to specify your boarding and destination points.

How are railway zones different from divisions?

Indian Railways is organized into 18 zones (like Southern Railway, Western Railway, etc.) which are further subdivided into divisions for operational management. Zones are the highest administrative units responsible for policy, planning, and overall management of railway operations in their geographic area. Divisions are smaller operational units within zones that handle day-to-day train operations, maintenance, and local administration. Each station falls under one division, which in turn belongs to one zone. This hierarchical structure helps manage the massive Indian Railways network efficiently.

What do station categories (A1, A, B, C, D, etc.) mean?

Railway stations are classified into categories based on passenger earnings, strategic importance, and facilities available. A1 and A category stations are major hubs with highest passenger traffic, extensive facilities including waiting rooms, food courts, parking, and accessibility features. B category stations are important junctions with good facilities. C and D category stations are smaller with basic amenities, primarily serving local passengers. E and F categories are the smallest halt stations. The category affects the facilities you can expect, train stops, and services available at each station.
