Train tracker and destination wake-up alarm
A train tracker follows a service along its route on a particular day. Enter the train number above and Trayago shows the journey timeline — where the train has been reported, which station comes next, station timings, and how it is running against the schedule.
What makes this page different from a plain status lookup is the destination wake-up alarm: an alert built for people who are actually on the train and would rather not watch their phone for the whole journey.
How Trayago train tracking works
- Enter a train number, or pick one from the popular trains list.
- Select Track Live to load current running information and the station-by-station journey timeline.
- Enable the destination alarm if you want to be alerted as the train approaches the end of its timeline.
Train numbers you have tracked are kept in your browser, so returning to a journey later takes one tap. No account is needed to track a train.
How the destination alarm works
The alarm is tied to the final station on the tracked train's journey timeline. Once enabled, Trayago monitors the journey's progress using the same running information shown on this page and alerts you as the train nears that station — early enough to gather luggage and get ready, rather than at the moment of arrival. Keep the tab open for the alarm to stay active, and toggle it off at any time.
Because it works from reported running information, alarm timing is guidance rather than a precise guarantee. A train's delay can change while it is en route.
Why a train destination alarm is useful
Overnight journeys are the obvious case — falling asleep and waking past your station is a common and expensive mistake. It also helps on long-distance routes where arrival drifts by hours, at unfamiliar stations where you cannot recognise the platform, and on early-morning arrivals when nobody in the coach is awake to ask. Mostly it removes the need to keep checking the phone, which is the whole point of tracking a journey.
Train tracker — frequently asked questions
- What is a train tracker?
- A train tracker follows a train's progress along its route on a given day. You enter the train number and it shows where the train has been reported, which station is next, how it is running against the timetable, and the station-by-station journey ahead.
- How does Trayago's train tracker work?
- Enter a train number and select Track Live. Trayago loads the current running information for that train and shows a journey timeline with station timings and delay information. Recently tracked train numbers are saved in your browser so you can return to them quickly.
- What is a train destination wake-up alarm?
- It is an alert tied to the last station on your train's journey timeline. Once enabled for a tracked train, Trayago monitors the journey's progress and alerts you as the train approaches your destination, so you have time to gather your luggage and prepare to get off.
- Can Trayago alert me before I reach my destination?
- Yes. Enable the destination wake-up alarm after tracking your train. The alert is designed to reach you as the train nears the destination station rather than at the moment of arrival. Keep the tab open for the alarm to remain active.
- Does Trayago guarantee exact arrival times?
- No. Timings shown are based on the scheduled timetable and the latest reported running information, and a train's delay can change while it is en route. Treat arrival estimates and alarm timing as guidance, and confirm platform numbers with official station announcements.
- How is the train tracker different from live train running status?
- The tracker is built around following a journey you are on, with the destination wake-up alarm and quick access to recently tracked trains. Live train running status focuses on checking a train's current status in detail, including a map view, date selection, and auto-refreshing station information.
