                \n
              • Prefer Train 12989\/12990<\/strong> for assured service\u2014on-time runs, better priority, and fixed schedule.<\/li>\n
              • Special trains (02989\/02990)<\/strong> are now retired; historically they were seasonal and carry higher chances of delays due to low priority scheduling.<\/li>\n
              • Live running updates<\/strong>: Track via IRCTC PNR status, NTES, Trainman, or RailYatri apps\u2014especially helpful during monsoon seasons or maintenance windows<\/li>\n
              • Food service<\/strong>: No pantry cars, but e-catering and base kitchen options are generally available.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                \n
