Kerala Sampark Kranti Express is a train that runs runs between Kochuveli Railway Station in Thiruvananthapuram, the capital city of the state of Kerala and Chandigarh in Punjab. It departs from Kochuveli Railway Station on Saturdays and it leaves Chandigarh on Wednesdays. This train was introduced to provide quicker connectivity from India's capital New Delhi to locations in Kerala. Kerala Sampark Kranti Express is the only Sampark Kranti train that runs beyond national capital and it is the longest running Sampark Kranti Express.
It was a step taken by Indian Railways to provide high speed connectivity with the National Capital to the common man in form of non-air conditioned express trains with minimal stoppages and high running speed. Earlier such a facility was available on the Rajdhani series of super-fast trains which were completely air-conditioned and hence quite expensive. The Rajdhani and Shatabdi series are the fastest trains in India. The Sampark Kranti trains run at a slightly lesser speed than these and yet provide for a high speed option at a normal price due to the minimal stoppages and relatively faster speeds than other non-Rajdhani and non-Shatabdi express trains.
It has 1 First AC and 2 Tier Ac combined coach(HA), 1 AC 2 Tier coach(A), 1 AC 3 Tier coach(B), 8 Sleeper coaches(S), 4 General coaches(G), a Pantry Car(PC) and a Luggage Van(LV) in all 17 coaches.
