Here’s the latest overview (as of mid‑2025) on the Hyderabad ↔ Kollam Sabarimala Special-Fare trains via Sulehalli & Raichur (Train Nos. 07141/07142) and related services:

🚆 Hyderabad → Kollam via Sulehalli / Raichur: Train Nos. 07141 / 07142

  • This service ran during the 2025–20 pilgrimage season, departing Hyderabad (as 07141) around 16:35 hrs, arriving at Kollam ~23:55 hrs (~32 hours travel), via Raichur, Guntakal, Renigunta, Melpakkam ([turn0search1]/[turn0search2]).
  • The return leg (07142) departed Kollam ~03:00 hrs, arriving Hyderabad ~10:45 hrs the next day, with the same route reversed ([turn0search1]).

❌ Status for 2025 Pilgrimage Season

  • As of mid‑2025, no public schedules list 07141/07142 among Sabarimala specials; the service has not been revived for the 2025–25 or 2025–26 seasons ([turn0search1], [turn0search6]).
  • New services for Telangana–Kerala pilgrims (e.g. Secunderabad–Kollam or Moula Ali–Kollam specials) are being operated on alternative routes via Guntur, rather than Sulehalli/Raichur ([turn0search6], [turn0search11]).

ℹ️ Why This Matters (and Why It’s Not Used Now)

  • The Sulehalli–Raichur route once provided a direct Gooty–Adoni–Raichur corridor, but newer pilgrim specials now utilize the more reliable Nadikudi–Guntur–Renigunta alignment.
  • Special-Fare (0-series) trains like 07141/42 are low priority, highly prone to multi‑hour delays, and provide no pantry, bedding, or other onboard amenities ([turn0search1]).
