==Schedule==<br />
17405 Krishna Express starts from Tirupati at 5:25&nbsp;a.m. and arrives Adilabad on next day 6:15&nbsp;a.m. Similarly 17406 Krishna Express starts from Adilabad at 20:45 p.m. and arrives Tirupati on next day 21:15 p.m.<br />
Passengers need to be extremely cautious and careful while getting into this Train in Vijayawada (Bejawada Junction), as you can see 2 Krishna Expresses going in opposite directions at the same time. Passengers need to study, review, analyze, assess and conclude, then climb into the Krishna Express that goes into the direction that hopefully takes the passengers to their correct destination. They can sometime review the engine direction.<br />
<br />
== Etymology ==<br />
The train is named after the [[Krishna River]] which flows from the city of [[Vijayawada]] and the train was first started from there itself. Then, it was extended up to Hyderabad Decan, as an early morning Day Train. Later, it was extended up to [[Secunderabad]] and [[Nizamabad, Telangana|Nizamabad]] and now up to [[Adilabad]]. It was extended up to [[Tirupati|Tirupathi]] on the other side.<ref>{{cite web|title=Etymology of trains|url=http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-name.html|publisher=Indian Railways Fan Club Association|accessdate=14 June 2014}}</ref><br />
