⚠️ Travelers’ Tips
- Confirm actual train schedule and running dates on IRCTC/NTES—special services vary by week.
- Special trains are often lower priority, so typical delays of several hours are possible—as per community feedback Waitlist and Tatkal quotas may behave differently on special trains—book early.
- Unreserved specials (e.g., Asansol–Danapur) don’t require advance reservation—but may be overcrowded.
- Use sit-in passenger apps (RNIS, RailYatri) to track live running status.
