The 22183 / 22184 Saket Express is an express train that runs twice per week between Ayodhya Cantt. railway station and Lokmanya Tilak Terminus, Mumbai. [1] The train was introduced in 1988 and the inaugural run took place on 7 May 1988.
In the beginning the train used to run between Bombay Victoria Terminus (station code VT) [now Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus Mumbai, (station code CSMT)] and Ayodhya (station code AY). But from 7 December 2024, the starting station was shifted from Mumbai CSMT to Lokmanya Tilak Terminus Kurla (station code LTT) from where it currently runs. [1]
Saket Express is one of the two trains that connect Ayodhya to Mumbai via Sultanpur Junction and Pratapgarh Junction, the other being the Ayodhya Superfast Express, which runs once a week via Shahganj Junction and Jaunpur Junction. [2]
