Excellent Train for VSKP to Hyd and Return Neat and Clean Coaches What ever the late it is always arrive on time in both ends. Before Duronto and Garibrath High Priority
Please check the history of this train here click here
On 1 February 1974, the Indian Railways announced the first railway service between Visakhapatnam and Hyderabad, with the Waltair-Hyderabad Express. The train was run on a daily basis and would depart Visakhapatnam at 5:30 pm and arrive in Hyderabad at 6:45 am, the next morning. On the return journey, it would depart...

Hyderabad at 5:15 pm and arrive in Visakhapatnam at 6:45 am the next morning. As the train provides rail connectivity to at nine stations in the deserted cities of East and West Godavari districts, it was officially named Godavari Express. It was regularly hauled by a steam locomotive and had 17 coaches. It reached its highest speed of 50 km/h between Samalkot and Rajahmundry. A slip service was introduced in the train during 1975, and the train was run up to Kakinada. Five more coaches were added, as a result. The train also entered a Rake Sharing Agreement or RSA with the Simhadri Express which ran between Visakhapatnam and Rajahmundry. However, in 1980, both the slip service and the RSA were cancelled as the Simhadri Express was extended up to Bhimavaram and the Kakinada-Secunderabad Goutami Express was introduced.
The train retained its 5 new coaches and ran with a diesel locomotive end to end. By 1990, the train had become very popular and two more coaches were introduced, taking the total to 24. It then became one of the longest trains in India. As the Visakhapatnam-Vijayawada line and the Vijayawada-Kazipet-Hyderabad lines were electrified, the train started running with the WAP 4 electric locomotive. Soon, the Godavari Express became the first train belonging to the South Central Railway to run with 5 air-conditioned coaches. In June 1999, the train met with its first incident, as it derailed at Ghanpur near Warangal. In the year 2000, the Godavari Express became the first train in the South Central railway to run with its own air conditioned first class coach and was also the first train in the Zone to have 6 air-conditioned coaches.
In the year 2011, the train was re-numbered to 12727 on becoming a Superfast train and was hauled by a WAP 7 between Vijayawada and Hyderabad. The train timings were modified again and the journey time was further reduced by 15 minutes. In July and August 2011, the passengers of the air-conditioned coaches of the Godavari Express were robbed twice and a hoax call was made regarding a bomb in the sixth coach of the train. As a result, safety was enhanced and the train started running with a WAP 7 from end to end. This train then became the first to run with a WAP 7 between Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada. Hundreds of people from Viziangaram and Srikakulam districts are travelling to Secunderabad daily through Godavari Express.
The train was upgraded with modern LHB coaches on 1 June 2020 which was run from both Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam by South Central Railway. Previously It was Upgraded as an Utkrist CBC rake train in 2018 which was running till 22 March 2020 after which lock down started

Accha train hai VSKP se Hyd tak aur wapas, saaf-suthre coaches hai. Kitni bhi late ho jaye, hamesha time par pahunchti hai dono taraf. Duronto aur Garibrath se pehle high priority thi. Is train ka itihaas yahan check karo click karo. 1 February 1974 ko Indian Railways ne pehli railway service announce ki thi Visakhapatnam aur Hyderabad ke beech, Waltair-Hyderabad Express ke naam se. Daily chalti thi ye train aur 5:30 pm ko Visakhapatnam se nikalti thi aur agle din subah 6:45 am ko Hyderabad pahunchti thi. Vapas ki yatra mein, 5:15 pm ko Hyderabad se nikalti thi aur agle din subah 6:45 am ko Visakhapatnam pahunchti thi. Kyo ki ye train East aur West Godavari districts ke sunsan shahron ko rail connectivity provide karti thi, isko official Godavari Express naam diya gaya tha. Ye train hamesha steam locomotive se chalti thi aur isme 17 coaches thi. Is train ne Samalkot aur Rajahmundry ke beech 50 km/h ki sabse tez raftaar bhi achieve ki thi. 1975 mein slip service introduce ki gayi thi iss train mein aur train ko Kakinada tak chalaya gaya. Iska result tha ki 5 aur coaches add kiye gaye. Ye train Simhadri Express ke saath Rake Sharing Agreement ya RSA mein bhi thi, jo Visakhapatnam se Rajahmundry tak chalti thi. Lekin 1980 mein, slip service aur RSA dono cancel ho gaye kyo ki Simhadri Express Bhimavaram tak extend ki gayi aur Kakinada-Secunderabad Goutami Express ko introduce kiya gaya. Train ne apne 5 naye coaches retain kiye aur pura end to end diesel locomotive se chalti thi. 1990 tak, ye train bahut popular ho gayi thi aur 2 aur coaches add kiye gaye, jiske saath total 24 coaches ho gaye. Isse India ki sabse lambi trainon mein se ek bani. Jab Visakhapatnam-Vijayawada line aur Vijayawada-Kazipet-Hyderabad line electrified hue, train WAP 4 electric locomotive se chalne lagi. Jaldi hi, Godavari Express South Central Railway ki pehli train ban gayi, jisme 5 air-conditioned coaches thi. June 1999 mein, train ka pehla hadsa hua jab Ghanpur ke paas Warangal mein derail ho gayi. 2000 tak, Godavari Express South Central Railway mein pehli train bani jisme apni khud ki air conditioned first class coach thi aur zone mein first train thi jisme 6 air-conditioned coaches thi. 2011 mein, train ko 12727 number mila jab ye Superfast train ban gayi aur Vijayawada aur Hyderabad ke beech WAP 7 se chalti thi. Train ki timings phir se modify hue aur safar ka samay aur bhi 15 minutes kam ho gaya. July aur August 2011 mein, Godavari Express ke air-conditioned coaches ke yatriyon se do baar loot hui aur train ke chhathi coach mein ek bomb ki jhooti call bhi ki gayi. Iska parinaamswarup, suraksha badhi aur train end to end WAP 7 se chalne lagi. Fir ye train Visakhapatnam aur Vijayawada ke beech WAP 7 se chalne wali pehli train ban gayi. Viziangaram aur Srikakulam zilon se har roj darjanon log Secunderabad tak Godavari Express se safar kar rahe hai. Train ko modern LHB coaches ke saath upgrade kiya gaya 1 June 2020 ko, jo South Central Railway dvara Hyderabad aur Visakhapatnam se chalayi gayi. Pehle hi train ko 2018 mein Utkrist CBC rake train ke taur par upgrade kiya gaya tha, jo 22 March 2020 tak chal rahi thi jiske baad lockdown shuru hua.
