⚠️ Key Considerations for Travelers
- Permanent 12939/40 is the most reliable option—fixed weekly schedule and higher operational priority over specials
- Special trains (02939/01433) are operational only during designated festival or summer windows, often with dynamic fares and limited announcement notice
- Reddit feedback reinforces that specials often run very late (12–15 h delays) and are unpredictable—mainly due to low operational priority and resource constraints
- Coach composition for specials often uses older ICF coaches recycled from spare stock, and may lack pantry services—planned per trip only.
