ℹ️ Traveling Tips

  • These special trains were introduced by Eastern and North Eastern Railways to support Holi festival travel demand.
  • They likely ran only during the second week of March 2025.
  • Special trains are often given lower priority, meaning they may face more delays or cancellations than regular services—plan accordingly.

    “Special trains have the least priority… always late…

✅ Planning Your Travel

  • If traveling close to Holi, aim to book these special services early, especially the 03132 / 03133 pair departing Howrah.
  • For travel outside these dates, regular long-distance trains like the Shalimar–Gorakhpur Express (15021/15022) running weekly remain reliable.
  • You can check for PNR availability, class options, and connecting services—I’d be happy to assist with booking or alternatives if needed.
