⚠️ Useful Traveler Notes
- These trains were instituted to manage festival rush, especially between Bihar and Delhi.
- Festival specials often operate at low priority, which frequently results in significant delays.
As noted in Reddit discussions: “Special train starts with 0 and it has the least priority… always late…”
✅ Travel Recommendations
- If your travel falls on March 6–18, and you wish to return via Delhi or Gaya, look to book 04064 / 04063 early via IRCTC or at counters.
- Outside these dates, consider regular trains like the Mahabodhi Express (12397/12398) or other daily/weekly superfast trains operating on Delhi–Gaya corridor.
- If you’re concerned about delays or schedule flexibility, regular trains on this route offer more reliability.
