**Special Trains- Special Problems**
It's an irony of fact that special trains are most of the time given very ordinary treatment, despite of being called 'Special'. From huge delays (even though you pay extra fare in a special fare special, you may bet that your train will be delayed) to less occupancy, special trains face countless problems. Let's try to list the 'special problems' out and see which one of them is mostly hated. So vote for the fact about the special trains you dislike most.
**PS:- Definitely there are exceptions like Special...

Unreliability- though this is a generic statement. but the fact is for this issue specials mostly run half to full vacant- something to be worried about
