on board

I am going on board the train to reach there.

I am on board the bus and I will be reaching there within 5 minutes.

Are these two sentences correct?

Please help me.

Thank you Mister Micawber .

I am boarding the train to reach there.

This sentence sounds me as if just now I am entering(getting) on the train ..................

Am I wrong?

You are right.

You can say for example:
I'm on/in the London train/train to London and I will be in 15 minutes/I will reach/get London in 15 minutes.

If you are not boarding yet, then: I am going to board the train to reach there.
