Malwa Express is a daily superfast express train service which connects Indore Junction BG railway station of Indore, the largest city and commercial hub in Madhya Pradesh, to Jammu Tawi in Jammu & Kashmir, India.

History

This train was originally introduced between Indore and New Delhi and was then extended to Jammu Tawi. It was the first Indian train to reach Pakistan as a diplomatic gesture. On 22 October 1985, it terminated at Lahore in Pakistan running as an Indore - Lahore Special, but the service was withdrawn after 55 days due to controversies. It ran once a week during this period, departing on Fridays in each direction. It was the fifth train in India and Madhya Pradesh to get an ISO Certificate, after the Bhopal Express, Rewanchal Express and Ahilyanagari Express.

Number and nomenclature

The 'down' service from Indore runs as number 12919, and the 'up' service from Jammu Tawi carries number 12920. The name Malwa signifies the region of Madhya Pradesh where the city of Indore is located.

Arrival and departure

Malwa Express departuring from Indore

The timetable for early 2010 shows departure from Jammu Tawi at 09:00 am daily, with arrival at Indore Junction at 12:50 pm the following day with 27 hours and 50 minutes, including 3 hours and 1 minute waiting at the 39 intermediate stations. This is an average speed of 55.3 km per hour for the 1540 km journey, or 62.1 km per hour excluding stops.

The reverse journey leaves Indore Junction at 12:25 pm and arrives in Jammu Tawi at 04:05 pm; the following day; with 27 hours and 40 minutes, including 2 hours 56 minutes waiting at the intermediate stations. This is an average speed of 56 km per hour, or 62.7 km per hour excluding stops.

On return journey, the train does the best in the Jammu Tawi - New Delhi section, but is horribly slow in New Delhi - Bhopal section. Rather sometimes it get late but otherwise its a BEST, SINGLE & SUPERFAST TRAIN FROM NORTHERN INDIA TO INDORE.
