The '''Andhra Pradesh Express''' was a [[Superfast Express trains in India|superfast]] [[South Central Railway]] train that runs between [[Hyderabad Deccan railway station|Hyderabad]] and [[New Delhi railway station|New Delhi]]. It operates daily, taking around 27 hours to cover the distance while passing through the states of [[Telangana|Andhra Pradesh]] (Present Day Telangana), [[Maharashtra]], [[Madhya Pradesh]], [[Uttar Pradesh]], [[Rajasthan]], [[Haryana]] before reaching [[New Delhi]].<br />
