✅ Recommendations
- Since 07410/07410X is not currently active, consider these alternatives if you’re planning pilgrim travel:
- Aurangabad ↔ Tirupati Weekly Express (17621/22), which runs regularly and has AC 3T and Sleeper coaches (not a special fare train).
- Tirupati ↔ Hyderabad/Secunderabad Specials, or services via Gooty / Dhone corridor that may operate during this season.
- Watch for official pilgrim special train calendars starting in late 2025 from SCR or IRCTC, which often announce new or substitute routes.
