⚠️ Travel Tips & Caveats
- Least priority: Festival specials typically receive very low operational priority, often causing long delays. As one user noted:
“Festival special train hamesha late hi chalti hai… my train was 8 hours late”
- Unreserved/clone trains often have basic coaches and high crowding; seat comfort and availability are limited.
- Intermediate halts are numerous (≥15), including important stations like Gorakhpur, Chhapra, Muzaffarpur, etc., but schedules may shift.
- Booking tip: For confirmed travel, reserve through regular Rajdhani/Exp trains early via IRCTC or 139.
✅ What You Can Do Next
- If you’re planning to travel for Holi 2026 or upcoming festive special services, keep an eye on early Northern / North‑Eastern Railway announcements around Jan–Feb 2026.
- For any travel on this route, check seat availability and booking via IRCTC, and be ready for possible delays with special trains.
