⚠️ Important Travel Notes

  • Though designated as a summer special, this train is operated by Central & Konkan Railway with a special fare structure and lower priority than regular services. Delays are frequent—Reddit discussions report delays ranging from 6 to 8 hours or more:

    “It’s a festival special train and often gets delayed OP” (referring to similar special trains)
    “Special train fare is higher than regular trains… you pay special fare holiday special train, the speciality is only on fare, not in experience or punctuality”

  • These special services are typically announced with short notice and often extended multiple times based on demand.

🌟 Why It Matters

  • The Nagpur–Madgaon Bi‑weekly Summer Special (01139/01140) is a reliable reserved train with full coach composition, offering a valuable travel option from Vidarbha (Nagpur) to Goa during peak summer months.
  • Unlike one‑off festival specials, this service ran continuously for months—even through June monsoon—making long-distance travel more predictable—though timeliness cannot be guaranteed.
