Overview The 19037/38 Avadh Express was initially introduced as the Agra-Lucknow Avadh Express. Over time, it was extended in both directions. First, it was extended to Kota and then to Ratlam on one side, and to Gorakhpur, Muzaffarpur, and finally to Barauni on the other side. Eventually, the train was further extended to Mumbai and now operates as the Bandra Terminus–Barauni Avadh Express.Free Press Journal. (2023, December 21). Train no. 22975, 22976, 12955, 12956, and 19037 to halt at Shamgarh-Suwasra stations on experimental basis.

Earlier, the number of stops on the Kota-Mumbai stretch was limited. However, over time, the train began stopping at more stations along the route. This is one reason why it now takes the Western Line, which is a longer route, instead of the Central Line via Bhusawal and Itarsi.Bhaskar. (2023, December 21).
