The '''Howrah–Anand Vihar Yuva Express''' was a [[Yuva Express]] series train of [[Indian Railways]], that connected [[Kolkata]], the capital of [[West Bengal]] to [[Anand Vihar Terminal]] in [[Delhi]], the national capital.<br />
<br />
Eastern Railway cancelled its operations permanently from 19 May 2020.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The train was inaugurated by former railway minister [[Mamata Banerjee]], to help the youths of both towns to ply in between. This train was considered to be the cheapest of all AC trains between the two cities. It started as a weekly service between {{stnlnk|New Delhi}} and [[Howrah]], but the train was shifted to Anand Vihar w.e.f. 13-12-2015.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
Sixty percent seats of the train were reserved for students, low-income groups & people belonging to the age group of 18-45yrs. To avail this facility, a traveller must had an age/income proof.<br />
<br />
==Composition==<br />
This train consisted of 10 AC Chair Car coaches with 5 AC 3 Tier coaches and with 2 End-On-Generation Vans. This train ran with old [[ICF coaches]] with a green and yellow livery which is themed on vibrant, contrasting and lively youth of the nation. As of 2020, the use of ICF Coaches were risky due to there old conditions, as old Rajdhani coaches are of 90s, they are not capable to run at such speeds of 130 KMPH, thus on 19 May 2020 it's services were discontinued.<br />
<br />
==Locomotive==<br />
The train was regularly hauled by a [[Electric Loco Shed, Howrah|Howrah shed]] [[WAP-4]] or [[WAP-7]] locomotive.<br />
