There was no dedicated Holi Special train scheduled directly from Tatanagar to Patna and back (e.g., no train numbered 0818x/0819x on this stretch) in March 2025. Official listings, including Eastern & South Eastern Railway bulletins, do not mention this route among Holi specials.

🧭 Tatanagar–Patna via Regular Express / Vande Bharat
- The Tatanagar–Patna Vande Bharat Express began operations in September 2025. It runs six days a week, with reserved AC Chair Car coaches and journey time of ~7–10 hours depending on route.
This is currently the most reliable reserved option between these cities.
⚠️ Special Train Advisory
Special trains numbered beginning with “0” get lowest operational priority on the network—leading travelers to report frequent delays of 6–14 hours or more.
Furthermore, demand during Holi surges means sleeper and AC quotas are often snapped up almost immediately.
