⚠️ Important Notes on Special Trains
- These are temporary special trains that run on special fares, often during high-demand periods.
- They are low priority on the railway network, which historically results in significant delays and poor timekeeping
- Common traveler feedback:
“Specials are given the least priority… in our overwhelmed railway tracks”
“Special trains are always delayed, usually ill‑maintained…”
✅ Travel Suggestions
- Always check live running status before boarding—use SMS to 139, NTES, or IRCTC app.
- Expect delays; plan buffer time, especially for onward connections.
- Seat availability: Confirm prior to travel, as coach composition may change (chart usually prepared ~3–4 h before departure).
- Alternate options: If timing is tight, regular express trains might offer more reliability when available.
