✅ Travel Tips & Notes
- Timings and halts are consistent across official sources but may slightly change—confirm before travel on IRCTC or trusted platforms.
- Since this is a COV‑Reserved Special, coach composition, halts, or schedule may change or be discontinued—always reconfirm before booking.
- Check Advance Reservation Period (ARP) (usually up to 60 days ahead), Tatkal ticket window, and fare details via IRCTC.
- E‑catering is recommended at major stations like Madurai, Tirunelveli, etc., since there’s no pantry car. Bring your own food or pre-order if needed.
