HYB/Hyderabad Deccan Nampally -- NDLS/New Delhi
The 12723 / 12724 Telangana Express is a Superfast Express of South Central Railways that runs between Hyderabad, capital of Telangana and national capital of India, New Delhi. It starts from Hyderabad Deccan Nampally and terminates at New Delhi.
Until 1973 only two out of the four southern capitals had direct rail connectivity to the national capital. One is 15/16 Grand Trunk Express from Madras and another is 21/22 Southern Express (today's Dakshin Express) from Hyderabad since 1955. The New Train 123/124 Andhra Pradesh Express (Now Telangana Express) was introduced on 3 October 1976, from Secunderabad to New Delhi and inaugurated by Madhu Dandavate who served as Minister of Railways.
It was called as Blue Bullet due to its unique livery in Oxford Blue colour coaches with a gold band in 1976. After the Formation of Telangana State, Andhra Pradesh Express has been renamed as Telangana Express with effect from 15 November 2015. Telangana express was updated with brand new German design Linke-Hofmann-Busch coaches, replacing the ICF coach design CBC coaches from 15 July 2019.
The train passes through the states of Telangana, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Delhi.
It is hauled by a Lallaguda Loco Shed based WAP-7 electric locomotive from end to end.
