- The Garib Rath (12611/12) is a good lower-cost AC‑only alternative, but seats seat only in 3A economy class.
- The special‑fare Rajdhani (02433/34) runs only during selected festival periods and depends on IRCTC announcements. These trains often face delays or cancellations due to low priority / temporary scheduling.
- Booking opens ~60 days before departure. Special‑fare trains generally offer limited quotas and limited reliability.
