⚠️ About “Special” Trains in India
- Special trains were often seasonal, temporary festivals/exam/journey‑based services with lower operational priority, prone to delays and variable maintenance quality
- As one Reddit user summarized:
“Special trains are just extra trains … they have lowest priority … so your SPL train get late”
Regular weekly special services like these have mostly been replaced or upgraded into full-fledged superfast or AC superfast services, offering fixed weekly schedules.
