⚠️ Important Notes & Reliability
- These trains are “special fare” services, meaning lowest priority on tracks. Delays are common; average delays from May–Nov 2024 ranged from 30 min to over an hour, with some runs exceeding several hours.
- Reddit feedback indicates such trains are often unreliable:
“Special trains… run 12–15 hours late… you shouldn’t rely on them unless no option”
✅ Alternatives Worth Considering
For better reliability and consistent service on the same corridor, you may look into:
- Silchar–Secunderabad Express (Train Nos. 12513/12514), operating weekly all the way to Silchar (extended from Guwahati in Oct 2023).
- Covers 2,932 km in ~45 h 40 m with average speed ~55 km/h.
- Offers reserved seating, pantry, and higher track priority as a regular superfast service
🧭 Travel Tips
- Use special fare only if no regular train suits your dates, and you can tolerate unpredictability.
- Track past delay performance via apps like NTES or WhereIsMyTrain before booking.
- Carry your own food and essentials, as catering may be limited or inconsistent on these specials.
- If ticket booking opens fast (especially in 3A/2A), consider alternate routes like multi-leg via Delhi/Bangalore for better availability.
