    • Reddit-driven reports indicate special trains often have low priority<\/strong>, leading to frequent delays\u2014even if they initially offered AC coaches \ue202turn0reddit19\ue201.<\/li>\n
    • If available, special fare trains are seasonal<\/strong> or temporary<\/strong>, and not shown in core timetables.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
