✅ Recommendation

  • Choose Train 12253/54 Anga Express for a reliable journey with reserved seating, meals, and predictable scheduling.
  • The special fare 02253/54, when operational, is not recommended due to limited quotas, no meals, frequent delays, and cancellation risk.
  • Booking for 12253 opens approximately 60 days before departure via IRCTC.
  • If needed, I can help check fare or seat availability, or monitor IRCTC for any potential festival special revival in late 2025, although none are currently scheduled.
