🚄 Bandra Terminus ↔ Ajmer Holi Specials (2025)
✅ Train Nos. 09622 / 09621 — Bandra–Ajmer Superfast Special
- Western Railway did operate Train No. 09622 (Bandra Terminus → Ajmer Junction) and 09621 (Ajmer → Bandra Terminus) as part of Holi/Special Fare services in March 2025, running four trips during the festival period. These trains included AC‑II, AC‑III, Sleeper, and General coaches, according to press updates and schedule archives
- However, these were in 2022. There is no publicly documented Holi special train between Bandra Terminus and Ajmer in March 2025. Website listings and news reports of Holi‑2025 specials do not mention this route among the seven WR specials launched for that year
❌ Status for 2025
- No confirmed Holi special service between Bandra Terminus and Ajmer was operated during March 2025.
- Western Railway’s official press release about Holi specials lists include Rewa, Jodhpur, Bikaner, Jhansi, Subedarganj, Bhagat Ki Kothi, etc., but not Ajmer
⚠️ Traveler Caveats
- Special trains numbered with leading “0” are low priority and often suffer delays of 6–14+ hours, as reiterated frequently by passengers on forums:
“Festival special train hamesha late hi chalti hai… train was 8 hours late”
“TT once told me special train starts with 0 and it has least priority - These trains are typically announced only weeks before travel, and give minimal runs (often just one-way), making seat availability unpredictable and reliability low.
