North East Express
The 12505 / 12506 North East Express is a daily superfast train of Indian Railways, which runs between Guwahati (capital of Assam and the largest city of North Eastern region of India) and Anand Vihar near New Delhi (capital of India). It connects North Eastern India to New Delhi, hence the name. The train belongs to NF railway zone of Indian Railways (headquarters at Guwahati). The coaches of this train belongs to Guwahati coaching depot of Lumding Division of NF Railway.

The North East Express succeeded the legendary Assam Mail in 1986.[1] But halt pattern and timings of later introduced Sikkim Mahananda Express (first introduced between Delhi and Katihar) corresponds more to the Assam Mail's BG segment.[2]

The train runs along the Guwahati-Barauni line, Barauni-Mokama line and Howrah-Delhi main line.
Service
The train is numbered as 12505/12506. Originally North east express was not a superfast and had service numbers 921 and 922 when introduced in 1986. In 1988, the train was assigned with new set of numbers as 2521 and 2522 which were later replaced with 5621 and 5622. It used to ply between Guwahati and New Delhi. In the Railway Budget 2005-06, it was sped up to the Broad Gauge Super fast category (broad gauge trains with 55 km/h or above average commercial speed) without withdrawing any previous intermediate stops. The new number assigned in the Superfast category were 2505 from Guwahati and 2506 from New Delhi.[3] With the new five digit numbering scheme introduced during the tenure of Mamata Banerjee as Railway Minister, the service numbers are now 12505 and 12506.
