⚠️ Passenger Advisory
- Special trains starting with “0” are given lowest operational priority, frequently leading to delays of 6–14+ hours, especially during festival travel surge.
“Festival special train hamesha late hi chalti hai… my train was 8 hours late”
- Bookings typically fill up within minutes. Sleeper and AC classes often get blocked under Tatkal quota immediately at release time.
- Catering and on-board services can be basic or absent, so carrying your own food is advisable.
🧭 Looking Ahead to Holi 2026
- No Holi special trains on Mumbai–Danapur have been announced yet for 2026.
- If the service resumes, announcements are expected from Central Railway around January–February 2026, with bookings opening in early March.
- For better predictability, you may prefer:
- Regular trains like Pune–Danapur Superfast Express (12149/12150), which runs daily with reliable timings and reserved seating.
- Booking in advance via IRCTC or 139, and monitoring NTES or official railway bulletins.
✅ Final Thoughts
Yes, Train Nos. 01009 and 01010 were the Holi Specials between Mumbai LTT and Danapur in March 2025. They were reserved services but prone to long delays and limited runs.
Given their unpredictable nature, regular express services are often a safer alternative.
