Cauvery Express or Kaveri Express ( Train No: 16021 / 16022 ) is a long distance train that links the capitals ( Bengaluru and Chennai ) of two south Indian States, Karnataka and Tamilnadu. This No. 16021 express train starts from Chennai Central and terminates at Mysore in Karnataka (via Bangalore) . The down train No 16022 travels in the reverse direction. The pair operates daily. Usually the trains are packed, especially during the weekends. So an advanced reservation is highly desirable, as the seat / berth availability is an issue if not reserved well in advance
Kaveri Express is attached with 2A (AC Sleeper) , 3A (AC Sleeper) and SL (non AC Sleeper Class) coaches. Of course there are a few unreserved coaches ( attached usually in the front and rear of the train ) for which the tickets can be bought directly from the counter at the railway station.
The name of the train - Cauvery - is derived from the name of the river Kaveri ( in Kannada & Tamil ) or Cauvery ( in English ) that flows from Karnataka to Tamilnadu before empties into the Bay of Bengal.
