⚠️ Passenger Notes & Feedback
- Performance issues are common:
- Special trains have the lowest operational priority, leading to frequent delays—often anywhere between 5 to 10+ hours
- Users on platforms like Reddit caution: “Don’t go for special trains unless necessary. They are always late … given no priority.”
- Special-fare concerns: These trains sometimes charge higher fares dynamically, especially closer to travel dates. Some users feel service quality doesn’t justify the costs.
✅ Tips Before Booking
- Check seat availability early—these trains often fill up fast due to limited weekly frequency.
- Expect possible delays—factor extra buffer if you have onward connections.
- Compare regular options:
