🟢 Recommendation
- Special trains 06105/06106 are discontinued; they should not be expected in any current schedule or booking portal.
- The Chendur Superfast Express (20605/20606) is the reliable and daily running option, offering better punctuality and service than a special train
- Based on user reports, special trains (starting with 0) generally have lower operational priority and less predictable service quality than numbered regular express trains—so it’s advisable to prefer the regular train when booking
ℹ️ In Case of Confusion
- Passengers may occasionally see 06105/06106 listed in portals—these refer to the former specials from 2020 and are likely deprecated or inactive, and those bookings may be erroneous or invalid.
- The current train numbers to rely on are 20605/20606, supported by official train roster updates.
