⚠️ Important Notes
- 16607/8 serves local unreserved needs and indeed carries the “special” tag, but provides only general seating, no reservations allowed; it’s best for last-minute local travel.
- 02198 is a seasonal long-distance service; if you board at Kannur, you’ll likely have reserved seating. It runs only weekly on specific dates.
- Special trains can face lower operational priority, leading to delays or short cancellations—especially on holiday or festival runs.
- Always confirm running status via IRCTC, NTES, or relevant railway sources before planning travel.
✅ Travel Tips
- For unreserved local travel, 16607/8 is available daily, but expect simple seating with no reservation.
- If you have a confirmed reserved ticket and travel availability, watch for Jabalpur–CBE special fare trains (like 02198) that stop at Kannur on their Sunday run.
- Use live tracking apps (IRCTC, Trainman, RailYatri) to stay updated on delays or cancellations.
- Breakfast or on-board food necessity: bring your own as coach service varies.
