As time goes on, the user base of WhatsApp continues to grow. This highly-thought-of messaging app constantly surprises users with recent additions. To connect between friends and family, you have choice options from voice and video calls to group chats. However, most people are not aware of the fact that you can track your train PNR status, as well as train times, directly through this app.

Check Train PNR and Live Status on WhatsApp

You can check PNR status or live train updates on other sites or through the IRCTC app. You can also dial 139 to know your train status. But now, you can get all this information directly on WhatsApp, saving time. This service is free, so why wait?

How to Use WhatsApp for Train Info

IRCTC has partnered with MakeMyTrip to provide PNR status and live train updates. You don’t need the IRCTC app. You only need the latest WhatsApp version and an internet connection.

  1. Save this number: 7349389104 – it is MakeMyTrip’s WhatsApp contact.
  2. Open the contact on WhatsApp.
  3. To check your PNR, type PNR and enter your PNR number in the message box.
  4. MakeMyTrip will get the information from the IRCTC server and tell you:
  5. Whether your ticket is confirmed or in the waiting list
  6. Live train location and arrival time at your destination
  7. The reply may take a little time, so make sure WhatsApp notifications are on.
