ℹ️ Passenger Advisory
- These were special‑fare reserved trains, featuring classes from AC 2-tier/3-tier, Sleeper, to General classes, depending on route and demand.
- Operational priority is lower compared to regular trains, leading to potential delays or rescheduling during peak routing
- Reservations typically open a few days before departure. E‑catering and coach amenities vary across trains.
- Coach augmentation in June improved capacity in some major services like Rajdhani and Garib Rath, easing the summer rush
- Major pilgrimage movement during Rath Yatra 2025 resulted in 365 additional special trains—though separate from scheduled summer specials
✅ Key Takeaways
- East Coast Railway deployed a robust network of Summer Special Trains in 2025, connecting Odisha with major Indian metropolises.
- Services included both seasonal additions and extensions of existing specials, effectively handling vacation and pilgrimage demand.
- Additional coaches were introduced in June to maintain capacity and mitigate summer rush.
