⚠️ Traveler Notes & Caution
- Tickets opened for booking on 24 March 2025 at IRCTC, PRS, and other platforms.
- Special trains typically have low track priority, and Reddit users report common delays — sometimes even 10+ hours in extreme cases.
“Special trains are meant to be the last resort… delays of more than 12 hrs are common.”
✅ Recommendations
- If traveling from Mumbai to Goa between April and early June 2025, these specials are excellent direct options offering AC and sleeper availability.
- If speed and punctuality are priorities, consider the Lokmanya Tilak Terminus–Karmali AC Superfast Express (22115/22116), which runs weekly and reliably covers the route in ~11.5 hours.
