⚠️ Important Notes
- Special trains have lowest operational priority, often delayed by several hours due to overtakes by higher-priority regular trains and limited rake allocation. Reddit communities note multiple delays of 7–12 hours on such services.
- Always confirm actual schedule and running status through official IRCTC, NTES, or PR releases.
