Here’s what I found regarding the Hatia → Saharsa special (festival) train service:
Contents
🚆 Hatia → Saharsa (Festival Special Train No. 08009 / 08009X)
- Service Type: One-way festival special train (“Special Fare”), typically operated for Chhath or major events
- Train No.: 08009 (also shown as 08009X in some sources)
- Departure: Hatia (HTE) at 10:00 AM (Day 1)
- Arrival: Saharsa Junction (SHC) at 01:00 AM next day (Day 2)
- Journey Duration: ~15 hours covering approximately 628 km via Ranchi, Muri, Gomoh, Gaya, Patna, Begusarai, etc. with ~13–15 stops
- Coach Composition: Typically 2 AC 3-tier + 17 Sleeper (SL); COV-reserved rake
- Frequency: Operates only on specific festive dates—not daily. Some sources note it runs once weekly during the event period
❌ Return Service (Saharsa → Hatia)
- There is no corresponding special train from Saharsa back to Hatia under the same number. Available sources list only the one-way outbound service
⚠️ Important Notes on Special Trains
- These are temporary festival specials with lowest operational priority; they are frequently delayed due to overtaking by regular mail/express trains. On-time performance is highly unreliable
- Travelers consistently report long delays—hours off schedule, especially when routes are congested
- Amenities are minimal: expect no pantry service and basic coach facilities only. It’s recommended to carry your own water and snacks.

✅ Travel Tips
- Check close to travel date whether the train is scheduled for operation—these specials are only activated during specific events.
- Look up live running status on the day of journey via IRCTC app, NTES, or SMS by sending the train number (08009) to 139.
- Consider alternatives for Saharsa → Hatia return travel—regular mail/express trains like Vaishali Express or others offer daily, dependable service.
- Bring essentials onboard as onboard facilities may be minimal or unavailable.
