“Special trains are specially treated… they are given least priority… delays of 10 hrs are very common…”
([turn0reddit18]turn0reddit20])

• Delays commonly arise due to:
  • Low track priority compared to regular trains.
  • Rake-sharing arrangements causing cascading effects.
  • Missed maintenance windows leading to late departure.
