Hussainsagar Express (also spelled as Hussain Sagar Express) is a very popular train operated by South Central Railway between Hyderabad and Mumbai. This Train then (7001/7002) was started around mid 1993 as a bi weekly train between Dadar and Hyderabad and was soon made a daily train in 1994 by shifting it to the time and slot of the 2101/2102 Minar Express which used to run between Bombay VT and Secunderabad. Currently, it operates as a daily superfast train with train No 12701/12702.
The train is named after the Hussain Sagar lake in Hyderabad, India built by Hussain Shah Wali in 1562, during the rule of Ibrahim Quli Qutb Shah.
The train was introduced as a replacement to the former Minar Express which operated between Secunderabad and Mumbai.

The train travels a distance of 429 miles ( 790 km) in 13 hours 45 minutes at an average speed of 58.7 km/h.

From mid 2013 onwards the loco links have been changed and it is now being hauled by Central Railway's Kalyan Shed WDM3A/D or WDG 3 Locomotive for its entire journey between Hyderabad and Mumbai CST.
