⚠️ Traveler Tips & Community Feedback
- These are festival specials with the lowest operational priority—delays of 6 to 12+ hours (or worse) are frequently reported.
“Special trains start with 0 and have least priority… delays of 10 hrs are very common.”
([turn0reddit13]turn0reddit22]turn0reddit23]) - Reddit users strongly caution:
“These trains don’t have real timetables… lengths of delay and rescheduling are unpredictable.”
([turn0reddit13]) - Service quality is often poor; trains may be old coaches with minimal maintenance.
✅ Should You Use It?
- Only consider 04028/04027 if:
- Your travel dates align exactly with their designated runs.
- Regular trains are fully booked.
- You’re okay with long, possibly unpredictable journey.
- If your destination is Patna / Muzaffarpur / Sitamarhi / Laheriasarai, note that these services pass via Barauni and Hajipur, offering indirect access.
- Prefer alternatives like:
- Sapt Kranti Express (12557/58) – daily service with AC/Sleeper and pantry, better reliability.
- Garib Rath (12212/11) – Weekly AC‑3 Economy with reserved seats and higher priority.
