ℹ️ Additional Insights

  • These trains are typically festival specials, often scheduled around Puja, Diwali, and Chhath to meet seasonal demand. In late 2024, Central Railway announced over 150 special trains for northern India during festivals
  • No clear announcement exists yet for Puja 2025 reactivation of these services—details usually emerge around August–September 2025.
  • As of mid‑2025, running details indicate disruption or truncation, so monitor further updates as the season approaches.

🔍 What You Can Do

  1. Monitor updates in August–September 2025 from Central Railway bulletins, IRCTC Rail Connect, TrainHelp, or Indian Railways press releases.
  2. Track the service calendar for 01027 and 01028 to see if they are reinstated to run full route to Gorakhpur.
  3. If not restored, consider booking via regular trunk trains between Mumbai and Gorakhpur (e.g., via Lucknow) or ballpark alternatives like special runs from LTT (Lokmanya Tilak Terminus) that serve GKP during festival periods.

🧭 Final Takeaway

  • As of now (July 2025), train 01027 is operating only up to Mau and does not reach Gorakhpur. Its counterpart 01028 still runs from GKP to Dadar via an altered route.
  • No specific reinstated Puja‑special schedule (01027/28 to GKP) has been published yet for Puja 2025.
  • Stay tuned—official listings expected 4–6 weeks before Puja travel period.
