Mumbai, May 19: Bid farewell to balancing several railway apps. A few months ago, the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) quietly launched Swarail, a modern, all-in-one SuperApp, with the goal of simplifying and expediting train travel planning. Swarail will take the place of the out-of-date Rail Connect app. However, if you are facing issues downloading this SuperApp from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, and a message that reads "The early access programme is currently full. Space may open up later," is popping up, it is because the Swarail app is currently available in beta. Meaning only the first few users can access the app.

Here is all the information you require about the Swarail app and how it can make your railway experience more seamless than ever, regardless of whether you commute every day or only occasionally. From the booking platform, reserved and unreserved tickets, and managing your entire trip, Swarail, created by the Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS), unifies almost all IRCTC services under one roof. The Swarail app can now be downloaded from both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Although still in beta, users can log in using their current IRCTC Rail Connect credentials or create a new account. IRCTC Official Throws Garbage on Tracks From Moving Train, Indian Railways Reacts After Video Goes Viral.
