⚠️ Important Notes & Reliability
- These are special-issue seasonal trains, not part of regular timetable—they operate only during defined summer/festival periods (e.g., April–June or Puja season)
- By design, they are low priority, so delays of 5–10 hours are common, and extreme cases of 12+ hour delays or cancellations have been reported by travelers
- Amenities are minimal—pantry services often unavailable; sensitive passengers should pack essentials. It’s best to plan buffer time if making onward connections.
✅ Recommendations
- Check schedule activation close to your travel date—this special doesn’t run year‑round.
- For confirmed operations, check live running status on your travel day via IRCTC app, NTES, or SMS by sending train number (01043/01044) to 139.
- If punctual arrival is important, consider using regular express trains or booking separate segments—special trains often arrive late and chart is prepared only hours before departure.
