⚠️ Special Trains: Cautions
- These special-fare trains are temporary, introduced around festival months, and may cause significant delays since they receive lower operational priority than regular services. Reddit users often report delays of 6–12 hours or more on such specials
- They are best avoided unless no regular service is available, and even then, travelers should book as early as possible due to quick sellouts and limited frequency.
