Here\u2019s what is officially documented<\/strong> about a Holi Special Train between Mumbai\u2019s Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT)<\/strong> and Thokur<\/strong>, which lies just north of Mangaluru (on the Konkan Railway), and back:<\/p>\n

\u274c 2025 Status<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • No Holi Special train<\/strong> operated between LTT (Mumbai) and Thokur<\/strong> in March 2025.<\/li>\n
  • Western\/Central Railway\u2019s Holi special notices for 2025 did not list this route. Instead, significant Holi specials included routes like LTT\u2013Gorakhpur<\/strong>, Udhna\u2013Mahbubnagar<\/strong>, and LTT\u2013Samastipur<\/strong>. ([turn0search3]\ue202[turn0search4]\ue202[turn0search2]\ue201)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \n

    \ud83d\udd70\ufe0f Historical Reference: 2025 Example<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Train No.\u202f01018X<\/strong> was a Thokur \u2192 Mumbai LTT AC Special Fare Holi train<\/strong>, a one-way segment running during Holi 2022:\n
        \n
      • It featured reserved AC coaches: 1A, 2A, and 3A.<\/li>\n
      • The service reportedly originated from Thokur or Sawantwadi Road<\/strong>, heading up to Mumbai LTT.<\/li>\n
      • No confirmed return leg (LTT \u2192 Thokur)<\/strong> was documented under the same train number.
        \n([turn0search0]\ue202[turn0search10]\ue202[turn0search5]\ue201)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        This demonstrates how occasional Holi\u2010fare specials were run separately from fully round\u2010trip scheduled festival specials.<\/p>\n

        \n

        \u26a0\ufe0f Important Travel Notes<\/h2>\n
          \n
        • Holi specials numbered starting with “0”<\/strong> have lowest operational priority<\/strong> on Indian Railways. These trains often encounter major delays (6\u201314+\u202fhours)<\/strong>, especially during peak festival seasons.

        • Ticket bookings for these services fill within minutes\u2014especially AC and sleeper classes via Tatkal quota. Plan accordingly for limited availability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
