⚠️ Traveler Tips & Community Insight
- These special trains are reserved-category with AC, Sleeper, and 2S classes; bookings open on IRCTC as usual.
- As with other Special Fare services, expect dynamic fare pricing, limited operational priority, and frequent delays, especially on congested routes.
“Special trains are last stage to book… they are given lowest priority … don’t expect them to be on time.”
- Plan buffer time if you’re catching connecting trains; monitor live running status using NTES or RailMadad.
