⚠️ Traveler Feedback & Advisory
- Community consensus: Holi special trains come with very low operational priority and are often delayed by 6–10+ hours.
“Festival special train… journey extended from 14 to 20 hours… passengers suffered.”
“Special trains don’t have priority… delays of 10 hrs common.” - Prioritize regular trains unless absolutely necessary, as specials:
- Are more expensive than regular services
- Often use older coaches
- Lack pantry services or onboard support
✅ Recommendations
- Only consider 04827/04828 if:
- Your travel falls exactly on the operating Saturday or Sunday
- Regular trains are fully booked or unavailable
- Prefer regular SSFs such as 14818/22965 Bandra–Bhagat Ki Kothi Express or other services for better reliability.
- If boarding from Borivali or Udhna, ensure your ticket shows those as your boarding station since the special may not allow stoppages otherwise.
([turn0reddit23]) - Always check NTES or IRCTC Live Train Status before travel—and travel lightly with packed food due to lack of pantry.
