ℹ️ Important Notes

  • The Shatabdi Special trains (02001/02002) are essentially the regular Shatabdi routes (12001/12002) but sometimes operate under special‑fare numbering during festivals or blocks. Timings remain effectively the sameturn0search0turn0search5turn0search13.
  • Special trains can sometimes face delays, rerouting, or loopings to accommodate regular priority trains. Passengers often report unpredictable behavior on “special” servicesturn0reddit21.
  • Booking is done via IRCTC; confirmation, coach positioning, and availability vary day-to-day.

✅ Recommendations

  • For faster travel with more onboard amenities, the Vande Bharat Express (20171/20172) is the best choice.
  • If 600+ km AC service directly connecting to New Delhi station (NDLS) is needed at predictable times, the Shatabdi service (02001/12001 and 02002/12002) is reliable.
  • Timing & fares should be checked on IRCTC or official railway enquiry portals prior to booking to ensure accuracy.
