      \u26a0\ufe0f Important Notes & Reliability<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • These are special-issue seasonal trains<\/strong>, not part of regular timetable\u2014they operate only during defined summer\/festival periods (e.g., April\u2013June or Puja season)<\/li>\n
      • By design, they are low priority<\/strong>, so delays of 5\u201310 hours are common<\/strong>, and extreme cases of 12+ hour delays or cancellations have been reported by travelers<\/li>\n
      • Amenities are minimal\u2014pantry services often unavailable; sensitive passengers should pack essentials. It\u2019s best to plan buffer time if making onward connections.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n

        \u2705 Recommendations<\/h3>\n
          \n
        • Check schedule activation<\/strong> close to your travel date\u2014this special doesn\u2019t run year\u2011round.<\/li>\n
        • For confirmed operations, check live running status<\/strong> on your travel day via IRCTC app<\/strong>, NTES<\/strong>, or SMS by sending train number (01043\/01044) to 139<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
        • If punctual arrival is important, consider using regular express trains<\/strong> or booking separate segments\u2014special trains often arrive late and chart is prepared only hours before departure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
