India is the land of festivals and celebrations. Here, everyday you can experience a festive vibe and can feel an aura of occasions. From pious day Purnima to the grand Ganesh Utsava, the celebration holds its own importance and is celebrated with great fervor. There are numerous special festivals that are celebrated in the corners of India and invite people to witness its charm. Festivals like Desherra, Diwali and Ganesh Utsav create a huge crowd when people move to different places. This is the time when one finds difficulty to board the train or flight. They struggle to get confirm bookings. To avoid such festive rush, Indian Railways launch festive special trains every year on every grand festive occasion. Like every year, this year also Indian Railways has launched festive special trains and are going to run Christmas and New Year special trains to avoid the last minute rush. Indian Railways also offers the passengers to order online food in train to satiate the taste bud during the course of journey. RailRestro one of the e-catering partners of IRCTC serves mouthwatering and delicious food in train.
Festive special trains have major chances to get delayed as they are the last minute announced trains. The first priority is given to the regular trains which need to be passed first waiting at any halting station. Special trains are the savior to reach the destination in heavy rush.
Here’re the lists of festive special trains (2019-2020) that have been launched to tackle the heavy rush to commute the passenger.
