How much notice does a train ambulance need?

Usually 24 to 72 hours, because the reservation and compartment arrangement depend on railway availability. We confirm only once the booking is actually held.

Is a train ambulance cheaper than an air ambulance?

Substantially — typically a fraction of a charter sector cost. The trade-off is journey time and the fact that the route cannot be diverted mid-transfer.

Do you serve Mohali and Panchkula as well as Chandigarh?

Yes, the tri-city is one service area with one price band and no cross-border surcharge.

Can you bring a patient down from Shimla or Himachal to PGIMER?

Yes. Hill transfers are routine for us and are run at reduced speed for stability; the coordinator quotes the journey in hours with a realistic arrival window.

When to call a train ambulance

• Long-distance transfer of a stable patient on a budget
• Journeys of 800 km or more where road transport would take over a day
• Patients who cannot fly for medical or cost reasons
• Planned repatriation to a home town for continued care

When a different unit is better: A ventilator-dependent or unstable patient should move by air ambulance. Rail transfer needs a patient stable enough to tolerate a fixed schedule with no diversion option.

How it works

Step 1
Call or WhatsApp
One number, answered 24×7. Tell the coordinator the pickup landmark and what has happened — they confirm the right vehicle type and an honest ETA before the call ends.
Step 2
Nearest available unit dispatched
The platform assigns the closest contracted unit with the right equipment, not the closest unit of any kind. You get the crew's number and the vehicle registration.
Step 3
Tracked to hospital handover
The transfer is followed end to end, the receiving hospital is pre-informed, and the case closes only after a bed-to-bed handover is confirmed.
