    \n

    \u274c Not a Reserved Holi Special (AC\/Sleeper)<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • The 01131\/32 trains were entirely unreserved<\/strong>, no AC or sleeper coaches<\/strong>, and were not numbered as reserved reserved specials<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    • The older 01163\/64<\/strong> reserved Holi specials between Dadar and Sawantwadi<\/strong> ran only in 2022<\/strong>, and were not scheduled in 2025<\/strong>.

      \u26a0\ufe0f On Festival Train Reliability<\/h2>\n
        \n
      • Festival special trains like these are given very low track priority<\/strong>, often leading to delays ranging from 6 to 12+ hours<\/strong>.
        \n

        \u201cSpecial trains\u2026 they have least priority \u2026 expect long delays.\u201d
        \n([turn0reddit15]\ue201)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n

      • These services are typically overcrowded, offer no pantry onboard, and are operated mainly to clear dense holiday traffic with minimal amenities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n

        \u2705 What This Means for Your Travel<\/h2>\n

        If you’re looking for a reserved-ac sleeper experience with stations like Borivali or Dadar included<\/strong>, no such AC\/Sleeper Holi Special<\/strong> operated between Mumbai and Sawantwadi Road in 2025.<\/p>\n

        Instead, consider:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Regular reserved trains<\/strong> like Tutari Express (11003\/11004)<\/em> which run daily between Dadar and Sawantwadi Road<\/strong>, offering AC, sleeper, and general classes with higher reliability and buffet options.
          \n([turn0search13]\ue201)<\/li>\n
        • Use the 01131\/32 unreserved specials only if you\u2019re okay with general unreserved travel and flexible with timing<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
