            \u2705 Notes & Tips<\/h2>\n
              \n
            • This special service began on 7 September 2025<\/strong>, but remains active as per rail enquiry websites<\/li>\n
            • Timings might slightly differ across sources like GoIbibo or TrainInfo\u2014e.g., some list average distance as ~426\u202fkm rather than 495\u202fkm\u2014but most railway sources align on 495\u202fkm and a 7\u202fh\u202f45\u202fmin journey<\/li>\n
            • Since this is a “COV\u2011Reserved Special” train, IRCTC dynamic fare rules may apply. Always verify current fare and coach availability close to travel date.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
