हमसे सीखे कोई जीने का सलीका। सफर कैसा भी हो, मौज़ उडाये जाते हैं।। - Amir

12818 does not get cancelled. Instead 12873/74 Jharkhand Express via Barkakana gets cancelled during winter season. 12817/18 Jharkhand Express via Bokaro is a preferred train over 12873/74 and this is the reason it is not cancelled. You may book your ticket if punctuality is not an issue for you as the train runs late.
