FAQ
Are the train times and prices live?
No. They are planning estimates for popular routes. Live schedules, exact fares, and station names change, so confirm on a booking platform before travel.
Why does my route show a connection warning?
Some city pairs do not have frequent direct high-speed service. The helper flags this so you can verify whether a connection is needed.
