Triveni Express is an express train and is also known as the "Queen of Sonbhadra". It comes under the Mail/Express category of Indian Railways.
The name "Triveni" signifies the Triveni Sangam (the meeting pointing of three rivers) of the Ganges, the Yamuna and the mystical Saraswati at Prayag in Allahabad, a city on the train's route. This train is the lifeline of the local people of Sonbhadra as it enhances the connectivity of the region.
