Good news for train passengers in India !
The Indian Railways’ new RailOne app is making train travel more exciting by offering free OTT entertainment. Passengers can now watch movies, web series, documentaries, audio programs, and even play games during their journey — without paying extra.
What is RailOne App?
Launched on July 1, 2025, the RailOne app is India’s all-in-one railway travel application developed by the Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS).
It has been designed to combine all rail passenger services in a single place so that travellers no longer need to switch between multiple apps.
With RailOne, you can:
-
Book and cancel reserved and unreserved train tickets.
-
Check real-time train status (arrival, departure, delay updates).
-
Track train schedules, routes, and stoppages.
-
Check PNR status and seat availability.
-
Order food online with e-catering.
-
Book porter and last-mile taxi services.
-
Submit feedback and complaints directly to Indian Railways.
Authorised by IRCTC, the app replaces the need for separate railway apps like RailConnect and UTS.
