It goes through Mangalore but not Mangalore station; Kankanadi is now the halt for Mangalore-bounde passengers. This change was made after introduction of 2619/20 Matasyagandha Exp. (LTT Kurla-MAQ) on Konkan Railway.
  44. 7029/30 Sabari Exp. Hyderabad-Cochin changed to Hyderabad-Ernakulam.

  48. 8101/02 Exp. This initially ran between Amritsar-Tatanagar, was then changed to run between Pathankot and Tatanagar, and now goes up to Jammu Tawi.
  49. 8237/38 Chattisgarh Exp. New Delhi-Bilaspur changed to Amritsar-Bilaspur.
  50. 8407/08 Hirakund Exp. H. Nizamuddin-Sambalpur changed to H. Nizamuddin-Bhubaneshwar.
  51. 8477/78 Kalinga Utkal Exp. H. Nizamuddin-Puri. There were two separate trains known as the Kalinga Exp. and the Utkal Exp. earlier, between H. Nizamuddin and Puri. These were merged into one train. For a brief period this train was extended to Amritsar, but this extension was withdrawn because of poor passenger response.
  52. 9165/66/67/68 Sabarmati Exp. which was started between Ahmedabad and Faizabad initially and went to Varanasi 2 days a week, now goes to Varanasi 4 days a week and the rest of the time goes to Muzaffarpur via the Shahganj-Chhappra line.
  53. Assam Mail - Both the MG and BG Assam Mails were replaced by the superfast Northeast Exp. in the 1980s when New Bongaigaon - Guwahati got a new BG line. The Mahananda Exp. is a train that has echoes of the old Assam Mail halt pattern. The Guwahati-Lucknow MG Express (NER) has been changed several times and the current MG train running between Rangapara North and Katihar (and beyond?) is perhaps the direct descendant of the original. The original route has been handled by the Avadh-Assam Express between Lucknow (LJN) and Guwahati since 1985 following gauge conversion in 1981; the Avadh-Assam is perhaps more properly considered a replacement for the Guwahati-Lucknow Avadh Tirhut Express of the past. The Avadh-Tirhut itself ran a shorter route Gorakhpur-Guwahati when gauge conversion was taking place, and was withdrawan later. The Avadh-Assam was later extended to Delhi.
  54. Tinsukia Mail - This was replaced by the Brahmaputra Mail.

  58. 6333/34 Express was introduced between Ahmedabad and Trivandrum, later extended to Rajkot. It ran on the ADI-BSR-KYN-PUNE-GTL-KJM-JTJ-PGT route, but on completion of KR, it was diverted to run through KR instead. A couple of years ago [2001?], it was further extended to Hapa.
  59. 6337/38 Express ran between Ahmedabad and Cochin. Later changed to Rajkot-Ernakulam to go by the Konkan Railway, and currently running between Okha and Ernakulam.
  60. 6221/22 Kaveri Exp ran as a day train between Bangalore and Mysore, but was extended to run as an overnight train between Chennai and Mysore.
  61. 6589/90 Rani Chenamma Exp earlier ran between Miraj and Bangalore. Now it has been extended beyond Miraj upto Kolhapur.
  62. 1003/04 Devgiri Exp was started as a train between Mumbai CST and Aurangabad by cancelling the overnight CSTM-Bhusaval Passenger. As the conversion of the Manmad-Kacheguda line progressed, the train was extended to Jalna, then Parbhani. Since the line through Parli-Vaijnath was converted to BG earlier, the train ran right up to Kacheguda from CSTM. However, when the other branch from Parbhani was converted, the run was curtailed, and diverted to Purna, and finally to Nanded. Recently, further progress in conversion has allowed the train to ply between CSTM and Nizamabad.
  63. 7617/18 Tapovan Exp ran between Mumbai CST and Parbhani. Later extended to Purna as BG conversion progressed, and currently runs upto Nanded.
  64. 2905/06 Express. Howrah-Hapa has been recently extended upto Porbandar.
  65. 3202/01 Patna-Kurla Exp is the successor of the LTT-Bhagalpur and LTT-Chhapra Janata Expresses. This train was introduced by curtailing the run of the above mentioned trains upto Patna, at the same time when Pawan Exp was extended beyond Varanasi upto Muzaffarpur via Chhapra, and the Dadar-Muzaffarpur Exp was replaced by Dadar-Bhagalpur Exp.
  66. 2983/84 JP-DURG Express and 6511/12 YPR-DURG Express recently extended upto Bilaspur.
  67. 9367/68 Malwa Express. Indore-Nizamuddin changed to Indore-Jammutawi.
  68. 9569/70 Express. Ahmedabad-Varanasi (old no. 9169/70) changed to Okha-Varanasi.
  69. 9601/02 Sayajinagari Express between Bandra Terminus and Vadodara was extended to Gandhidham by amalgamating with the Vadodara-Gandhidham Exp. Recently, it has been further extended to New Bhuj.
  70. 9031/32 Kutch Exp from Mumbai Central and 1091/92 Exp from Pune extended upto New Bhuj after gauge conversion of the Gandhidham-New Bhuj section.

  74. 58 Up / 59 Dn Amritsar - Dadar Exp. initially from Pathankot - Jalandhar Cantt. - Ludhiana - Ambala - New Delhi - Bhopal - Bhusawal - Manmad - Dadar. It was popularly termed the Pathankot Exp. In the 1960s the train was changed to originate from Amritsar. Later in the 1990s the train was routed via Ludhiana - Dhuri - Patiala - Rajpura - Ambala instead of the trunk route. The scheduled times at Ambala were unchanged, so that the train had to leave Amritsar early by about 90 minutes. To this day, some passengers refer to this train as the Pathankot Express.
  75. 2069/70 Jan Shatabdi Express. Raigarh-Durg changed to Raigarh-Dongargarh.
  76. Pashchim Express today is a direct descendant of the erstwhile 'AC Deluxe' Exp. between Amritsar and Mumbai. The Pashchim is still known by the name 'AC Deluxe' by its frequent passengers.
  77. Chandigarh Express between Kalka and Jodhpur started running between Chandigarh and Bhatinda. Later it was extended to Bikaner and then to Jodhpur.
  78. Shan-e-Punjab and the Himalayan Queen were the same train until the mid-1980s before they were given separate slots.

  80. East Coast Exp. between Vijayawada and Howrah was extended to Guntur, later to Hyderabad.
  81. Tirumala Exp. started between Vijayawada and Tirupati, was extended to Kakinada and later extended to Vishakapatnam.

  83. Venkatadri Exp between Secunderabad and Tirupati now runs between Guntakal and Pakala, while another BG route Venkatadri Exp. runs Tirupati-Kacheguda.
  84. Hyderabad-Chennai Exp. used to run via Kazipet and Vijayawada, before being diverted through Nadikude and Guntur. The Narsapur and Sabari Expresses had similar diversions.

  89. Bokaro Exp. has been extended many times from its original route. Details?
  90. Secunderabad-Bidar Manjira Exp., was converted to an ordinary passenger train and extended to Purna (Auranagabad?).
  91. The Hyderabad-Pune Exp. had its route shortened to Solapur.
  92. The Nagarjuna Exp. started between Secunderabad and Vijayawada, and was extended Guntur and later to Tenali.
  93. 6121/6122 Chennai Egmore - Kanyakumari Exp. started out as the 6721/6722 Chennai Central - Kanyakumari Exp. which used to run via Jolarpettai, Erode, Karur, Dindigul, Madurai, and Tenali (the first BG train to Madurai and points south). The train now runs through Villupuram and Tiruchirapalli.
  94. 49/50 Link Exp., from Shoranur to Cochin Harbour was originally the link portion of the 131/132 train; but a new day train was introduced between Cannanore and Cochin Harbour later, the Day Express, and given the same number 49/50. This was later extended to run between Mangalore and Trivandrum as the Parashuram Exp.
The Kerala and Karnataka Expresses

The KK (Karnataka-Kerala) Exp. was introduced in 1976 from New Delhi to Trivandrum and Bangalore, the train bifurcating at Jolarpettai. The train was later (1980?) split into two trains, the Kerala Exp. running New Delhi - Trivandrum and the Karnataka Exp. running New Delhi - Bangalore. The Kerala Exp. then split at Palghat with one portion going to Mangalore. The Karnataka later changed to take the Gooty-Secunderabad-Nagpur route. The Karnataka later ran with three different routes on different days of the week: through Renigunta and Vijayawada; through Wadi and Secunderabad; and through Wadi and Manmad.

The Kerala Exp. overlapped with the Jayanti Janata which bifurcated at Shoranur with one part of the train going to Cochin Harbour and the other to Mangalore. Later, these two trains were merged to form the Kerala Mangala Exp. Later yet (1990?), a separate train to Mangalore was introduced named the Mangala Exp. (Nagpur-Vijayawada-Coimbatore-Palghat-Shoranur). With the opening of Konkan Railway, the Mangala was renamed the Mangala-Lakshadweep Exp. and extended to to Ernakulam (Jhansi-Nasik-Panvel-Kankanadi-Calicut-Shoranur).

Originally the TN, AP, and KK (Karnataka-Kerala) Expresses were three trains sharing the same scheduling slot and much of their routes. After the KK was split into two trains, the Kerala and the Karnataka Expresses and the four trains were distributed in two scheduling slots, with the Kerala and Karnataka being in different slots. Later yet, each train got its own slot.
