💡 Operational Notes & Traveler Feedback

  • Such 0-series special fare trains carry low scheduling priority, often resulting in significant delays—even 8+ hours in some cases

    “Special trains are notoriously delayed most of the times even though they are priced more than regular ones.”

  • Amenities like bedrolls, pantry service, or proper linen are typically not provided, so passengers are advised to bring their own.

✅ Alternatives & Recommendations

  • Adilabad–Kollam–Adilabad Sabarimala specials are more commonly operated in other years (e.g. Train 07124/07123 from Kacheguda or 07128/07127 Secunderabad–Kollam), so consider those if traveling from Telangana/AP
  • For regular, reliable service, Sabari Express (17229/17230) runs daily between Hyderabad (or Secunderabad) and Thiruvananthapuram, stopping at Kollam. It’s not a special fare train but offers consistent service and onboard catering
  • Watch for IRCTC or Southern Railway announcements later in 2025—they typically publish the full Sabarimala special train calendar around September–October.
  • Apps such as NTES, Where is My Train, or IRCTC’s tourism portal are useful for live updates when specials are announced.
