ℹ️ Notes & Cautions
- Puja AC specials (01633/01634) were only scheduled in 2025; there’s currently no evidence they’ve recurred in subsequent years
- Special trains labeled with ‘0’ are typically low priority, often delayed or canceled, use older rakes, and frequently lack catering services
- Regular services like Shri Shakti Express and Uttar Sampark Kranti Express offer better reliability, punctuality, and onboard amenities.
✅ Recommendations
- For festive Puja travel in 2025, continue monitoring IRCTC official portal, NTES app, and railway circulars—special trains are often announced only a few weeks in advance.
- If Puja specials aren’t introduced, 04085/04086 and regular high‑priority AC trains (12445/22461) remain reliable booking options.
- Consider securing confirmed tickets early, and be flexible with travel days if special trains become unavailable.
