Coaches, fares and booking

All three trains carry Sleeper Class and General Second Class coaches, aimed at budget travellers. Tickets are being sold at special fares through PRS counters and the IRCTC website, and Western Railway says each train makes a single one-way trip to clear the post-festival and wedding-season rush towards Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.

How to use this

These are single-trip trains, so there is no return special to pair them with: plan your return on regular services before you go. Book early if a train fits your route, and confirm the halts for your boarding station because specials often skip stops that regular trains make.

Context

The specials follow the Chhath travel season and come just before the wedding season begins on 20 November, which is also pushing up airfares on the same corridors.
