on dt day i was travelling wd this spcl and i was surprised when check estimated time to reach lko...actually we started late by 25mins and till Bareilly we r late by approx 4:45hrs ....thought to change my train at BE bcz announcement was done for upasana express but at last moment i drooped that idea but one of my co pax decided to change the train becz he was worried of estimated time at lko it was showing 11am for spcl and 8:45am for upasana...finally i choose to stay with this specail as i knw upasana will be full packed .....after BE train was running like a hell in next three hrs we were 70km behind the lko and here upasana oted us.....thank god .....my dcsn was not so bad...:)

i check ntes for arrival time at lko its shows 11am showing my train will take 3hrs more to reach lko and distance to travel approx 65km...i was worried why so much time....thought might be lko outer may welcome us .....and yes lko welcome us with upasana when train reached alamnagar surprisingly upasana was also waiting for clearance of signal from last 30mins...again i thought to change the train here but on dt time i was on call so couldn't did....ahh time was 9:30 and still ntes showing arrival time is 11am ...so i decided to deboard here and checking for available cabs while moving towards the main exit....suddenly i noticed my special got a special treatment and yes train is moving towards the lko at 9:45am so I boarded again.....but still ntes stood on his side no change in status... slowly gradually we entered pf 2 of lko at 10:05am...and again as per ntes train expected arrival is 11am.
so NTES also gives a special treatment to special train.
