When rail is the right choice
- • 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 it is not: 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.

- • Multi-parameter monitor and suction
- • Emergency drug kit

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.

Frequently asked questions
- 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.
