🔍 Why Special Trains Are Risky
Reddit and traveler feedback consistently note:
“Special trains are run on best‑effort; they have low priority, often delayed by 12+ hours… use old spare coaches.” turn0reddit18turn0reddit22
These trains are seasonal and not part of the regular timetable—delays, cancellations, and unpredictable coach quality are common.
