Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about RANCHI station.
The station code for RANCHI is RNC. Use it when searching timetables or booking — codes are unambiguous where names are not, which matters in cities with more than one station.
151 trains call at RANCHI in the timetables we hold, reaching 157 destinations without a change, and 35 of them start their run here.
RANCHI to MURI is the busiest direct route, with 52 direct trains and a fastest journey time of 50m.
The earliest listed departure is train 03254 CHZ PNBE SPL at 01:45, and the latest is train 22358 GAYA LTT SUP EXP at 23:55. Both are scheduled times, not live running times.
General booking opens 60 days before the train leaves its originating station, and Tatkal one day before that — 10:00 AM for AC classes, 11:00 AM for non-AC. If the train does not start at RANCHI, both windows are counted from wherever it does start, which can be a day or more earlier than counting back from your own boarding date.
No. These are the scheduled timetable timings published by Indian Railways. They do not reflect delays or rescheduling on the day, so check live running status before travelling.
Timings are the scheduled times published by Indian Railways and may change. This is not live running status, and platform numbers are not shown. Always reconfirm on the official railway channels before you travel.
