🚆 Regular Scheduled Trains (2025)
- No special service has replaced 07646/45 post-2022.
- Instead, the route currently operates via three maintained weekly express trains connecting Chittoor to Srikakulam Road:
- 12659 Gurudev SF Express (~08:05 dep, 15h 23m)
- 22852 Vivek SF Express (~13:00 dep, 15h 50m)
- 12846 Bhubaneswar Express (~20:59 dep, 15h 29m)
These are reliable, higher-priority services with AC/Sleeper/General classes and run on fixed weekly schedules.
⚠️ Advisory on Special Trains
- Community feedback consistently notes that special trains have very low operational priority, which often leads to delays of 5–12+ hours, frequent rescheduling, and limited amenities.
“Special trains are specially treated… given least priority… 10–12 hrs of delay is very common.”
As a general rule, special fare trains should be treated as a last-resort option unless absolutely necessary.
✅ Recommendation: Best Planning Steps
- Use regular weekly express trains (Gurudev SF, Vivek SF or Bhubaneswar Exp) for more reliability and consistent service.
- If you were expecting a special train—as in previous years—check IRCTC or SCR bulletins around March–May 2025 for late rollouts or festival specials.
- Always check live running status via NTES or IRCTC on travel day, since even regular trains can face changes.
