⚠️ Travel Tips
- These are festival superfast specials, originally introduced for Holi 2025 — seating chart preparation closes 3–4 hours before departure
- Be aware: special trains often run late, since they have lower priority compared to regular express services
- Advance booking is recommended. Tickets are usually available through IRCTC, and since they expanded operations to weekly service, availability might improve.
✅ Alternatives & Suggestions
- For more regular and reliable service, consider the Udyognagri Express (12173/12174), which runs between Mumbai LTT and Kanpur on a bi‑weekly basis, taking around 27½ hours
- The Udyog Karmi Express (12943/12944) connects Valsad to Kanpur but may be suitable depending on boarding flexibility
