The 12707 / 12708 '''''Andhra Pradesh Sampark Kranti Express''''' is a [[South Central Railway]] train running from [[New Delhi]] to [[Tirupati]]. It is part of the [[Sampark Kranti Express]] series of trains, which link the Indian national capital, [[New Delhi]], with the rest of the state capitals, with only a limited number of stops on each service.

== Service ==
The [[Andhra Pradesh]] Sampark Kranti Express commenced operations between [[Secunderabad Junction railway station|Secunderabad]] and [[Nizamuddin railway station|Hazrat Nizamuddin]] near [[New Delhi]].  On 6 July 2005, Shri [[Anjan Kumar Yadav]], [[Member of Parliament|MP]], and [[Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh|Hyderabad]] mayor, Teegala Krishna Reddy, flagged off the train from [[Secunderabad]] station when the service was extended to [[Tirupati]] via [[Kurnool]], [[Dhone]] and [[Kadapa]].

The Andhra Pradesh Sampark Kranti Express operates as a three times a week train service between Secunderabad, Hazrat Nizamuddin and Tirupati.

Before the Andhra Pradesh Sampark Kranti Express was introduced, the (12625/12626) [[Kerala Express]] between [[New Delhi]] and [[Trivandrum]] was the only daily train connecting the Tirupati and New Delhi.
