ℹ️ Additional Notes & Reservations
- These Special-Fare specials include classes such as Sleeper (SL), AC First (1A), AC Two-tier (2A), AC Three-tier (3A), and Economy (3E)
- Special trains have limited operational priority, and are often delayed or rescheduled during congestion due to rake-sharing constraints and maintenance cycles
✅ Why Choose or Avoid NER Special Trains?
- Pros:
- Provides added capacity on main trunk routes during peak summer travel.
- Offers reserved accommodation across multiple berth classes.
- Cons:
- Low operational priority makes delays very common.
- Limited scheduling data and irregular punctuality are commonly cited by travelers
🔍 If You’re Considering Travel via NER in Summer 2025
- These special trains are available on limited routes and dates—typically mid-May to end of June/early July.
- For itinerary planning between Gorakhpur, Delhi, Kolkata, Mau, or Lal Kuan, these specials offer extra travel options.
- Before traveling:
- Check seat availability and PNR status via IRCTC.
- Monitor live running status on travel apps to anticipate delays.
- Consider alternative regular trains (e.g., Gorakhdham Express 12555/12556) if timing and reliability are priorities.
