“Special trains are low priority… expect very long delays… no pantry… not worth booking” citeturn0reddit22
✅ Recommendations
- Prefer Train 12733/12734, the daily Narayanadri Superfast Express, for dependable travel with reserved AC/Sleeper seating, reliable timing, and onboard food options—even though there’s no pantry, e‑catering is available.
- Use Train 02733/34 only if it’s officially announced during an upcoming festival period—and you’re comfortable with general/Tatkal ticketing and minimal amenities.
- Booking opens ~60 days in advance on IRCTC for both services. Festival specials have limited availability and tend to fill quickly.
- I can assist with checking seat availability, fare estimates, or monitoring future announcements if you’re targeting a festival period where 02733/34 might operate again.
