207/208 Karnataka express in MG was connecting Bangalore - Miraj and vice versa. Once the state named trains were introduced, Karnataka express was given to the BG avatar and Bangalore Miraj train was named as Kittur express. Similarly , Kerala express was running between Madras and Cochin ( current Alappuzha express ). Later it was referred as "Cochin express" and the name Kerala was given to current one.
