              \n
            • No 2025 special fare train (01431\/01432)<\/strong> has been announced yet. The 2024 run was festival-specific and limited in duration.<\/li>\n
            • The regular train 11038\/11037<\/strong> is your best bet for guaranteed weekly service, though it’s slower (~35 hrs).<\/li>\n
            • For a faster option and more frequent schedule, the 12165\/12166 Gorakhpur Superfast Express<\/strong> runs thrice weekly, completing the journey in ~30 hours.<\/li>\n
            • If you\u2019re planning for a festival period (like upcoming Diwali or Chhath), keep an eye on IRCTC and Central Railway announcements<\/strong> 4\u20136 weeks in advance\u2014festival specials are often introduced during that window.<\/li>\n
            • Special trains, when scheduled, tend to be prioritized lower and may experience more delays than regular services.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
              \n
