👣 Suggested Alternatives
Since the special service is no longer operational:
- 📌 Regular Express Trains between Hatia and Delhi region:
- Jharkhand Swarna Jayanti Express (12817/18/73/74) runs Hatia ↔ Anand Vihar weekly or tri-weekly in multiple classes including AC and Sleeper (~24 h over ~1,330 km)
- 🛤️ Local route options:
- Tapaswini Express, Kriya Yoga Express, and Islampur–Hatia Express connect Hatia with nearby destinations like Puri, Howrah, or Islampur. None operate to Surat ✳️
These trains, especially the Swarna Jayanti Express, are better-supported and more predictable than temporary special trains.
🔧 What Special Trains Mean for Passengers
- Special fare trains are temporary, run only during peak season, and are often given lower operational priority (meaning delays are common)
- Many passengers report frequent delays or issues with punctuality and coach condition when using special trains
✅ Travel Advice (July 2025)
- The Surat–Hatia Summer Special (09081/09070) is no longer active.
