Common Issues & Solutions
Train not visible in live tracking?
The service may not have departed yet, the GPS hardware might be temporarily offline, or the train might not operate on that day. Verify the running days in the schedule section.
Position seems inaccurate?
GPS coordinates update every 30–60 seconds. Wait a moment and refresh. Through tunnels or in mountainous regions, satellite signal can be weaker, causing slight lag.
Pages loading slowly?
Check your internet connection quality. Closing other browser tabs or apps can free up resources. If the problem persists, try clearing your browser cache.
Urdu text not rendering properly?
Make sure your device has Urdu fonts installed. Most modern smartphones and browsers support Urdu natively — if not, a quick system update usually resolves it.
