- Fares can be higher than regular express services, yet amenities and punctuality are often worse
- Reddit users frequently report waits of 8–12 hours or more, and criticize coach condition and service quality on special trains
✅ Overall Takeaway
- The 09451/09452 Special Fare Special offers a weekly direct link between Gandhidham and Bhagalpur, but expect long travel time (~50 h+), limited facilities, and unreliable punctuality.
- If comfort and timing matter more, consider looking for regular superfast or express trains connecting through Bhagalpur or nearby hubs, even if it means booking connecting travel rather than a single train.
