⚠️ Notes & Passenger Feedback

  • These special trains are seasonal and temporary, usually introduced during Chhath, summer holiday months, or festival seasons—not year-round services
  • They are low-priority services on the rail network. Delays of 5–12 hours or more are commonly reported, and punctuality is highly variable. Multiple traveler accounts state:

    “Special trains are last stage to book… they run 12–15 hours late.”

  • Amenities are minimal. There’s no pantry car onboard, so pack your own food, or plan for e-catering stops

✅ Travel Advice

  • Check in advance whether this service is scheduled for your planned date—special trains only run during operational windows.
  • Before boarding, confirm the departure schedule via NTES, IRCTC app, or SMS to 139 with train number. Train timing can be rescheduled—historically delayed from 10:00 AM to 14:45 on occasion
  • Allow plenty of buffer time, especially if there are onward connections.
  • Bring essentials: food, water, medicines, power bank, etc., due to limited onboard support.

Would you like me to:

  • 🔹 Check if the 05290 special is scheduled for specific upcoming festival dates or summer period, or
  • 🔹 Fetch its real-time running status for today or a given date?

Just let me know!
