Key Trains on This Route

The Mumbai–Hyderabad Express (17031) runs daily from Mumbai CSMT (CSTM), covering 711 km in approximately 13–15 hours with Sleeper, 3AC, and 2AC classes. The Secunderabad Duronto (12221) runs on select days from Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT) in Mumbai's eastern suburbs — faster with fewer halts but limited to AC classes. Both are overnight services.


Mumbai Departure Stations: CSMT vs LTT

Express trains to Hyderabad from Mumbai typically depart from either Mumbai CSMT (Central Railway's main terminus in south Mumbai) or Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT) in Kurla (eastern suburbs). Check your specific train — CSMT and LTT are 20 km apart. LTT is better for those in Navi Mumbai, Thane, or eastern suburbs.


Hyderabad Arrival: HYB or SC

Trains from Mumbai typically arrive at either Hyderabad Deccan (HYB, also called Nampally) — near Charminar and the old city; or Secunderabad Junction (SC) — north of the city near the cantonment. Check your ticket for the exact arrival station. The Duronto often arrives at SC; the Express at HYB.


Mumbai–Hyderabad Overnight Journey

The 13–15 hour journey is entirely overnight — you board in Mumbai evening and wake up in Hyderabad morning. 3AC is recommended for comfort. Hyderabad has rich cuisine (biryani, Irani chai) available near both HYB and SC stations — early morning arrival means you can start with breakfast.
