The Mangala Lakshadweep Superfast Express is a Superfast train in India that runs between Hazrat Nizamuddin in Delhi and Ernakulam Junction in Kochi, Kerala via the Konkan railway route. It is operated by Southern Railway with 12617 / 12618 train numbers. This was the second daily train connecting Kerala state and New Delhi after Kerala Express and provided the first daily direct access to the national capital for the Malabar(North Kerala) districts and Coastal Karnataka districts.
As the Konkan Railway was not yet constructed, the train was earlier running between Mangaluru and Delhi in a roundabout route. Since the train was running till Mangaluru, the name Mangala was derived from Mangaladevi, the most important deity of Mangaluru city. Once the Konkan route was completed, this train was diverted via the Konkan. Later, this train was extended to Ernakulam Junction.
