I need to know where my train will arrive. Are there specific websites or apps I can use to check the platform number? Can I also get this information through SMS or by calling a helpline? It would be great to know the easiest way to get the platform details so that I can plan my arrival at the station better. If there are any other tips or important information I should keep in mind while checking the platform number, please share that as well.

You can find the platform number for an Indian Railway train using a platform locator tool. Many railway apps, like Indian Train or the IRCTC app, offer a platform number enquiry feature. To use it, simply enter your train number in the search box. The app will show you the train's details, including the platform number. If you are at the station, look for digital display boards, which provide real-time updates on train arrivals, including their platform numbers. This makes it easy to find your train platform number.
