⚠️ Tips & Passenger Notes
- Like most special trains, this service has low track priority. Frequent delays of several hours are reported due to congestion and rake management.
(Common passenger observation; running status exceptions shown on platforms).
([turn0search14]turn0search7]) - It offers a direct seasonal travel option between Mumbai and Kanpur via suburban circles like Vadodara, Ratlam, Mathura, Farrukhabad—but consider alternatives if schedule sensitivity is high.
🟢 Travel Recommendations
- ✔️ Book early, especially in AC classes—seat allocation per trip is limited.
- ✔️ Check NTES or IRCTC Live Status on day of journey for delay alerts.
- ✔️ Pack or order food—pantry facilities are usually unavailable.
- ✔️ Prefer alternatives (e.g. Pushpak Express 12533/12534 or Kushinagar Express 22538) if reliability and fixed schedules are essential.
