⚠️ Important Notes & Community Warnings

  • Like most festival special trains, these run with very low track priority, often experiencing delays of 6–12+ hours.

    “Festival special train… they have least priority… expect long delays.”

  • Timings are approximate; trains can be rescheduled or held to let higher-priority services pass.
  • On-board amenities are basic—no pantry. Cleaning and coach standards may be below average.

🧭 Alternatives for Travelers to Patna / Bihar

If you want more reliable or frequent service:

  • 12569 / 12570 – Jaynagar ↔ Anand Vihar Garib Rath Express
    AC‑3 Tier only, runs twice a week, ~20 h journey; regular service with higher reliability.
  • 12557 / 12558 – Sapt Kranti Express (ANVT ↔ Muzaffarpur)
    Provides full AC, Sleeper, and Pantry; daily with better punctuality.
  • For travel specifically to Muzaffarpur or Sitamarhi, check the reserved festival train 04016 / 04015 (Sitamarhi–Anand Vihar), which operated during the same period.

✅ Recommendations

  • Use 04014 / 04013 only if your travel falls exactly on those dates (6–18 Mar) and no regular train seats are available.
  • Preferred choice: Regular services like Garib Rath or Sapt Kranti Express for better timing and coach quality.
  • If booking a special:
    • Book ASAP via IRCTC or PRS
    • Monitor NTES / Live Status closely on travel day
    • Pack food/water, as no pantry service is available
