Vijayawada Lingampalli Intercity Express (Train No: 12795/12796) is a daily Superfast train that runs between Vijayawada Junction in Andhra Pradesh and Lingampalli in Telangana. This train belongs to Vijayawada Division of South Central Railway Zone.
History
This train service was introduced in 2018, mainly for the convenience of Andhra Pradesh government employees commuting between Andhra Pradesh Capital Region and Hyderabad. The Vijayawada-Secunderabad Intercity Express was flagged off to a start on 20 June 2016 by Indian Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu and Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu as the first-ever non-stop train between Guntur and Secunderabad.[1]
The train route initially originated from Secunderabad but was later extended up to Lingampalli in Hyderabad.
