⚠️ Traveler Advisory & Community Feedback
- Low operational priority: These special trains often experience delays up to 8–12+ hours due to rake-sharing issues and track congestion.
“Special trains… delays of 10 hrs are very common.”
- While fares are higher than regular services, onboard amenities are often basic and punctuality poor.
✅ Other Direct Trains on the Route
If your priority is reliability and comfort, consider these established high-priority alternatives:
- Matsyagandha Express (12619/12620) — LTT (Mumbai) ↔ Mangaluru Central, daily, ~16 h 10 m journey, onboard catering and mix of AC, SL, general classes.
- Santragachi–Mangaluru Vivek Express (22851/22852) — long-distance, weekly service with AC + SL coaches (no pantry), ~42 h run.
🧭 Key Recommendations
- Use 09057/58 only if their operating days match your schedule and regular trains are fully booked.
- Book early (IRCTC/PRS) and monitor NTES or IRCTC Live Running Status due to potential delays.
- Pack food and water—there is no pantry car; station e-catering is available at major halts.
- Avoid if travel time and punctuality are crucial—opt for Matsyagandha or other express trains instead.
