        \u26a0\ufe0f Travel Notes & Warnings<\/h2>\n
          \n
        • These special trains (starting with \u201c0\u201d)<\/strong> are treated as lowest priority on Indian Railways<\/strong>, often resulting in delays of 6 to 14+ hours<\/strong>. Common complaints include long unscheduled halts, conditions of coaches, and poor announcements.<\/li>\n
        • These journeys run well over 30 hours<\/strong>, despite relatively short distance (~1,668\u202fkm), due to slow average speed and multiple halts.<\/li>\n
        • Bookings for these trains were opened on March\u202f1, 2025 via IRCTC and PRS centers<\/strong>. AC and sleeper quotas typically sold out fast, with waitlisted Tatkal severely congested.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n

          \ud83e\udded For Holi\u202f2026 & Beyond<\/h2>\n
            \n
          • As of now, no Holi Special trains have been announced<\/strong> for Mumbai\u2013Mau or Mau\u2013Mumbai beyond the 2025 run.<\/li>\n
          • Watch Central Railway press releases<\/strong>, NTES app<\/strong>, or IRCTC \/ Indian Railways announcements<\/strong> around January\u2013February 2026<\/strong> if services resume.<\/li>\n
          • If planning travel, consider booking regular express services via Varanasi or Gorakhpur, which\u2014though longer routes\u2014often offer better timing reliability and reserved class seating.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
            \n

            \u2705 Should You Plan Travel on This Route?<\/h2>\n

            Yes, it existed in 2025 as Train Nos. 01123\/01124. But note:<\/p>\n

              \n
