CRIS has enhanced the train enquiry system by developing the mobile app and a desktop application on Windows 8 platform for train enquiries with support from Microsoft, he added. Among the many features of the new mobile app is the 'spot your train' feature which offers information such as its current position, expected time of arrival and departure at a particular station.

The 'Train Schedule' feature provides complete schedule of a train with all stoppages enroute and its scheduled arrival/departure at the station, distance and day count. In "Trains between Stations" query, one can find out the list of all types of trains available between any two stations on railway network.

The mobile App also has "Cancelled Trains" option which displays all trains marked as cancelled. It displays trains which are canceled through the entire route as well as trains which are cancelled on partial route. Besides, it also provides features for query on rescheduled and diverted trains.

The App has been launched for Windows 8.0 phones and will be further developed for other mobile platforms.
