ℹ️ Notable Points
- Run irregularly, only during festival window (past example from 2025).
- Booking not via PRS; likely offered through special train chart or IRCTC portal under “Urs Special”.turn0search4turn0search8
- Low average speeds due to lower priority and numerous halt stations.
- Pilgrim-focused makeup, ensuring AC and unreserved seating for demand surge.
❓ About 2025 Services
- No confirmed sources indicate operation of these trains in Feb–Jun 2025.
- However, Indian Railways typically runs Urs specials annually from east coast zones like ECoR or Odisha for Ajmer pilgrims.
- If operated in 2025, similar schedule and train numbers (08421/08422) would likely apply. Confirmation would follow 1–2 weeks before festival via official bulletins.
