Island Express (train)

Island Express (train)

The Island Express is an Indian Railways train running between Bangalore and Kanyakumari. Train# 6526 runs from Bangalore to Kanyakumari, and Train# 6525 runs in the reverse direction. The train runs daily via Coimbatore, and covers the 944 km route in about 20 hours.

No part of the train's route is on an island; the name was given because the predecessor of this train used to start its journey from the Cochin Harbour Terminus station in Willingdon Island, Kochi, Kerala, (Cochin) till the late 1970s. At that time, it was the only train that connected Bangalore (Karnataka state) to Kerala.

The Island Express also experienced a horrible railway accident when a large number of its coaches fell into the lake Ashtamudi Kayal while crossing the railway bridge. Hundreds lost their lives. The driver of the train was later declared unfit for driving.
