ℹ️ Additional Details

  • These special services were operational from January 2025, introduced to boost connectivity between Rajasthan and Mumbai during holiday seasons.
  • Although not strictly branded as a “Summer Special”, they fall under Western Railway’s special fare superfast train category for 2025.
  • Coach composition includes AC‑2 Tier, AC‑3 Economy, Sleeper, and 2S classes. Often lacks pantry services onboard—carry refreshments for the journey.

⚠️ Important Observations

  • Punctuality concerns: These special trains frequently face delays due to low track priority. Community feedback (e.g. Reddit) mentions delays up to several hours, especially in busy route segments.
  • Limited frequency: Only one weekly trip in each direction, so tickets may sell out fast—especially in AC/Sleeper classes. Early booking is recommended.
  • Preferred alternatives: Regular services like 12979/12980 Jaipur–BDTS Superfast Express or 12955/12956 Mumbai Central ↔ Jaipur Superfast run daily or tri-weekly, offering better matching of schedules and reliability.

✅ Traveler Tips

  • Book early via IRCTC or PRS for 09723/24 if those dates fit your plans—AC compartments especially fill quickly.
  • Track live running status on travel day using NTES or IRCTC to manage any delays.
  • Bring packed food & essentials—pantry service may be absent or unreliable.
  • Consider regular trains (e.g. Jaipur–BDTS daily express) if you need flexibility or predictability.
