#Name: Poorva is from word Poorv meaning East and Poorva means "one who goes or belongs to East". The directions are defined in our country with reference to Standard Time Meridian passing thru Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh, not according as seems on map. Since West Bengal is the Eastern most state and Kolkata is largest city of Eastern India. Since train travels in Eastern direction from National Capital to Eastern metropolitan, it was named as Poorva Express.
