⚠️ Important Traveler Notes
- These “special fare” trains are popular but frequently run late (often 5–12 hours) due to low priority on tracks. Community feedback advises caution if punctuality is needed:
“Special trains… get delayed by 10 to 24 hours.”
Booking opened on 24 March 2025 on IRCTC and PRS counters.
✅ Alternatives for Reliable Travel
- LTT–Karmali AC Superfast Express (22115/22116) runs weekly on Thursdays, covering the same route in roughly 11h 30m with reserved AC coaches and a pantry car. More dependable than specials.
- Other consistent options include the Mandovi Express, Konkan Kanya Express, or Mumbai–Madgaon Tejas Express, which also stop at Karmali but offer faster and more timely service.
🧭 Recommendation
- The weekly summer specials (01129/01130) offered direct connectivity in AC and sleeper classes—but frequent delays reduce reliability.
- For better timeliness and comfort, the AC Superfast Express (22115/22116) is preferred.
