The official site shows you one seat class at a time. Rail Atlas logs into the same railway account and pulls availability for all classes at once — AC, Snigdha, Shovan Chair, the lot — with fare, VAT, and online/offline counts on a single screen.
Booking a train in Bangladesh means guessing. The official portal makes you pick a class first, then search, then back out and try the next one.
Select Snigdha, search, see it's sold out. Switch to AC_S, search again. Switch to S_CHAIR, search again. Four or five round-trips just to learn which class still has seats — and prices live on different screens.
One search returns every class for every train on the route, with fare, VAT, and exact online/offline seat counts in a single table. The decision that took ten clicks now takes one glance.
A thin, fast dashboard over the railway's own Shohoz API — authenticated with my real credentials, so the numbers are the live numbers.
S_CHAIR, SHOVAN, SNIGDHA, AC_S, AC_B — every class for the train in one table, no tab-switching.
Base fare and VAT per class, plus the cheapest available class surfaced at a glance.
Exact seats bookable online versus held at the counter, so you know if it is worth the trip.
This is the signature view, recreated faithfully. Search two stations, get the full seat picture for the train.
| Class | Fare | Online | Offline | Status |

| SNIGDHA | ৳656+৳33 | 0 | 2 | 0 |
| S_CHAIR | ৳345 | 58 | 12 | 58 |
| SHOVAN | ৳285 | 9 | 4 | 9 |
Bangladesh Railway names are easy to misspell and hard to remember. Type a few letters and the whole network is at your fingertips — every station the Shohoz API knows about, fuzzy-matched as you go.
// the smart bits
Two features go past a plain lookup: a departure-board that ranks the single best seat for your whole party, and a split-ticket finder for when no class has enough seats together.
No single class has 2 seats the whole way? It seats your journey in legal segments — book each leg, keep the trip.
2 legs · 2 seats secured · 1 trip
Deliberately lightweight — a fast client over the railway's own API, no backend of my own to babysit.
Rail Atlas turned a ten-click guessing game into a one-glance answer. I embed in messy real-world tooling and ship the version that should have existed. If that's the kind of work you need, let's talk.
