History
In the beginning the train used to run between Bombay VT (now Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus Mumbai, station code CSTM) and Faizabad (station code FD) but later on the starting station was shifted from Mumbai CST to Lokmanya Tilak Terminus Kurla (station code LTT) from where it currently runs.
Saket Express is one of the two trains that connect Faizabad to Mumbai via Sultanpur and Pratapgarh, the other being the Faizabad Superfast Express, which runs once a week via Shahganj and Jaunpur.
