✅ Travel Advice
- Limited special runs: These trains run only on specific dates and are not daily services.
- Advance bookings via IRCTC portal or codalistic apps recommended.
- For Makar Sankranti pilgrim travel, especially around Prayagraj, anticipate crowd management, holding zones, and staggered e-ticket queues.
- These festival services are beyond regular daily services, adding capacity only during holiday rush.
If you’d like assistance with:
- A list of confirmed schedules or train numbers for a specific special
