Editorial & Data Policy

How BD Railway Info sources, verifies, updates, and corrects Bangladesh Railway information.

Last updated: March 2026

Our Commitment to Accuracy

BD Railway Info is an independent, non-official reference portal. We are not Bangladesh Railway, nor are we affiliated with the Government of Bangladesh. Our sole purpose is to make Bangladesh Railway information clearer, faster, and more accessible to every passenger.

Because millions of passengers use this site to plan real journeys — booking tickets, arranging transport, and making time-sensitive decisions — accuracy is our highest editorial obligation. This page documents exactly how we research, publish, and maintain the information on this site.

Primary Data Sources

All information published on BD Railway Info is sourced from the following verified primary sources:

🏛️

Bangladesh Railway (railway.gov.bd)

Official published timetables, press releases, and service announcements from Bangladesh Railway's government portal. This is the primary authoritative source for all schedule and route data.

🎫

e-Ticket Portal (eticket.railway.gov.bd)

The Bangladesh Railway online ticketing platform is cross-referenced to verify fare data, seat class availability, and route stop sequences as published at time of booking.

🚇

DMTCL (Dhaka Mass Transit Company)

Metro Rail (MRT Line-6) schedule, fare, and station data is sourced from official Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited communications and the DMTCL official website.

📡

SMS Tracking System (16318)

Bangladesh Railway's official real-time train tracking SMS service (send "tr [train number]" to 16318) is used to verify scheduling accuracy and operational status during editorial review.

Editorial Process & Fact-Checking Steps

Every piece of data published on BD Railway Info goes through the following editorial steps before publication:

  1. Source Identification: The relevant official Bangladesh Railway or DMTCL document is identified. We do not accept data from unofficial third-party apps, social media posts, or unverified community sources without independent confirmation from an official source.
  2. Cross-Reference: Schedule data is cross-checked against at least two official sources where available — typically the published timetable and the e-ticket portal booking interface.
  3. Editorial Review: Data is reviewed by a site editor before publication. Descriptive text, travel tips, and editorial content are reviewed for factual accuracy, tone, and relevance to the target audience.
  4. Bilingual Verification: Where Bengali-language content is published, it is verified to accurately reflect the English-language source data. Translation errors are treated as factual errors and corrected on the same timeline.
  5. Publish & Date-Stamp: All data is published with a "last reviewed" or "last updated" marker where applicable, enabling readers to assess its currency.
