Coromandel Express
The Coromandel Express is a superfast express train of Indian Railways. The train runs down the east coast of India between Howrah Junction railway station, West Bengal, and M. G. R Chennai Central railway station, Tamil Nadu. The train service is run by South Eastern Railway zone. The route travels across the eastern coast of India along the Bay of Bengal, called the Coromandel Coast, so giving the service its name.
The train was first run on 6 March 1977 as a bi-weekly train between (then) Madras and Howrah. The Coromandel Express was designed to be the equivalent of the Rajdhani Expresses running through the Coromandel Coast. At the time the train had a dining car. Whilst initially the train operated from Howrah Station to MGR Chennai Central, during COVID 19 the route was changed to Shalimar - MGR Chennai Central.
The route uses the Howrah–Chennai main line along the East Coast of India. The route includes a non-stop run between Vijayawada and Chennai, and it runs up to Visakhapatnam with two stops at Eluru and Rajahmundry. The other stops are Brahmapur, Khurda Road, Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Bhadrak, Balasore and Kharagpur.[citation needed]
