⚠️ Important Tips

• Garib Rath Express (12203/04) is usually the most reliable choice for AC travel, with a fixed schedule and consistent coach availability.
• Special seasonal trains (04617/18) offer only non‑AC sleeper/unreserved options—not ideal if AC comfort is needed.
• Suvidha or Holi-type specials (e.g. 04601/46×2) have operated on select dates but are infrequent and not scheduled for future runs at this timeturn0search0turn0search10turn0search6.
• Delays are common for special trains due to low priority on the network. Passenger reports highlight frequent lateness by several hours turn0reddit22turn0reddit21.

✅ Recommendations

• For AC-exclusive travel, Garib Rath (12203/04) is the best option. It’s fast, scheduled, and operates thrice weekly.
• For cheapest travel during May–July 2025, the Summer Special (04617/18) might help—but consider only if AC isn’t required.
