Checking your journey…
A 60-minute gap between two trains looks safe on the timetable, but if the first train is often two or three hours late into the junction, you will watch the second one leave. RailTC turns the scheduled layover between Train A and Train B at your changing station into a planning signal: how much slack you really have after walking to the other platform, how late Train A usually arrives there, and today’s live delay when you are already travelling. Use it before you book a tight connection, after pre-booking analysis, and alongside live train running status on the day.
Enter both train numbers and the station code where you change. RailTC reads both timetables and shows the scheduled arrival of the first train, the departure of the second, the gap between them and the slack left after your platform-change buffer. Old and new station codes both work (BCT and MMCT, CSTM and CSMT).
IRCTC lets you link two legs as one connecting journey; if the first train’s delay makes you miss the second, the onward fare is refunded. Two separate tickets carry no such protection, which is exactly when a realistic layover check matters most.
The paid report compares Train A’s observed arrival delays at your station with your slack and reports how often the connection would have been missed, with typical and bad-day lateness. It unlocks only when enough real observations exist; thin history never charges you.
When Train A is running today, its live delay from the running-status feed is shown next to your slack. If the delay already exceeds the slack the connection is flagged as a likely miss, so you can rebook or pick a later Train B early.
