Tired of waiting for delayed trains? This page should always be at your fingertips!
Not only train passengers, but also all railway enthusiasts will appreciate information about delays and the current location of the train. The best option is the interactive map of the Railway Administration GRAPP, which displays all carriers. We cannot forget Babitron, which, however, only displays information about Czech Railways connections. You will also find the 4 largest railway carriers in the Czech Republic in the overview.

Babitron - Train Delays
![](https://www.czechrailguide.com/content/images/2024/05/babitron.jpg)
Babitron - Train Delays (link) was created in 2001 as a project for Robert Babylon's own needs. In 2003, 71 trains were monitored and the delay results were published once a week. In 2004, an online map was added, which showed fast and express trains (except for Fridays and weekends) and a large part of passenger trains. The data for the operation of the website was drawn from the website of Czech Railways. In 2006, Czech Railways blocked the author's access to this data for a short time. Subsequently, after mutual agreement between the author and ČD, an agreement was reached and the website ran as an official test version. Now the website works in cooperation with Robert Babylon, Czech Railways and the Institute of Theoretical Computer Science. The last reported update took place in 2017. The method of updating data has changed, which is updated every 30 seconds. Source: https://kam.mff.cuni.cz/~babilon/zphist
Location of ČD trains
Babitron can only display the location of Czech Railways trains. As with GRAPP, the delay time is displayed in different colors.
Current delays of ČD trains

An excellent feature of Babitron is the tabular overview of current delays. You will not find such a processed overview on the ČD website or on GRAPP. The table is sorted in ascending order according to the train number, it also contains the name of the train, the departure and destination station, the last known position and information about the delay. As on the map, the delay is indicated by different colors.
Train delay in the last 3 – 28 days
![](https://www.czechrailguide.com/content/images/2024/05/Babitron-delay-train.jpg)
Another function is the delay of a specific train for the last 3, 5, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days. After entering a specific train, you choose the required period and the result is a table with individual passing points and stations. For each point, there is an average delay for the monitored section, and the number of delays up to 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60 and over 60 minutes. This will give you an idea of the reliability of the individual connection, which you will definitely appreciate when planning your trip. As in previous cases, the data is unfortunately only available for ČD trains.
