⚠️ Traveler Insights
- No dedicated Mumbai–Patna Holi special was officially announced in 2025.
- Special trains often run late, with Reddit accounts warning about delays ranging from 12–20 hours and general lack of punctuality on festival services ([turn0reddit13][turn0reddit16]).
- Tatkal quotas fill within minutes around festival booking opens—some users report only 100+ sleeper seats available immediately, urging early booking ([turn0reddit16]).
✅ Recommendations
- If traveling during Holi and only Holi specials appear booked:
- Use the Mumbai → Danapur special (09045) and then connect via local or long-distance services to Patna (≈11–15 km via Ara/Patna junction).
- Alternatively, travel on regular express/fast trains like:
- Mumbai LTT – Patliputra Express (12141/12142) which runs daily (via Bhopal, Lucknow, and Patna).
- Avoid relying on special trains if punctuality is critical.
