    \u26a0\ufe0f Travel Notes on Festival Specials<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Such Holi specials are low\u2011priority (\u201c0\u2026\u201d) trains<\/strong>, frequently plagued by delays of 6\u201314+ hours<\/strong>, as passengers often report on forums:

      \u201cFestival special train hamesha late hi chalti hai\u2026 train was 8\u202fhours late\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n

    • Special train timings are typically not logged in mainstream timetables\u2014planned just weeks before travel<\/strong>, and often limited in frequency<\/em>. They may be extended only if demand is high.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n

      \ud83e\udded Planning Ahead for Holi 2026<\/h2>\n
        \n
      • If Pune\u2013Karmali specials resume, announcements will likely come from Konkan Railway \/ Central Railway in January\u2013February 2026<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      • To prepare:\n
          \n
        • Monitor official railway press releases<\/strong> and portals.<\/li>\n
        • Check IRCTC reservation system<\/strong>\/PR stations once booking opens.<\/li>\n
        • Tatkal bookings fill extremely fast<\/strong>, so plan early.<\/li>\n
        • For more reliability, consider regular trains like the Lokmanya Tilak Terminus\u2013Karmali AC Superfast Express (22115\/22116)<\/strong>, using reserved AC classes (runs weekly)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n

          \u2705 Summary<\/h2>\n
            \n
          • No Holi special train<\/strong> was officially run for Pune\u2013Karmali<\/strong> in March 2025.<\/li>\n
          • The last recorded Holi specials<\/strong> were 01011\/01012<\/strong>, in March 2025.<\/li>\n
