⚠️ Travel Advisory for Special Trains
- Holi specials designated with a “0xxx” prefix receive very low traffic priority, which often leads to major delays, typically 6–14+ hours. As noted by multiple users on Reddit:
“Festival special train hamesha late hi chalti hai… my train was 8 hours late”
“TT once told me special train starts with 0 and it has least priority…”
