⚠️ Traveler Notes & Warnings
- Despite being a “Special Fare” train, this service receives low priority on tracks. Punctuality is a major issue—delays of 5–10+ hours are common.
“Special trains… are meant to be the last resort… delays of up to 12 hours or more.”
- Community feedback suggests:
“These trains run late most of the time. You can’t plan anything while traveling on them.”
- Ticket booking window opens in advance, and 3AC/2AC often sells out quickly due to limited quota.
- The current status suggests that these specials are not listed as regular summer specials in 2025 outside their seasonal run periods. For instance, these trains last prominently ran in mid‑2020. There’s limited confirmation that they continued uninterrupted into 2025.
