Hussainsagar Express (also spelled Hussain Sagar Express) is a very popular train operated by South Central Railway between Hyderabad and Mumbai. This Train then (7001/7002) was started around mid 1993 as a bi weekly train between Dadar and Hyderabad and was soon made a daily train in 1994 by shifting it to the time and slot of the 2101/2102 Minar Express which used to run between Bombay VT and Secunderabad. Currently, it operates as a daily superfast train with train No 12701/12702.
The train is named after the Hussain Sagar lake in Hyderabad, India built by Hussain Shah Wali in 1562, during the rule of Ibrahim Quli Qutb Shah.
The train was introduced as a replacement to the former Minar Express which operated between Secunderabad and Mumbai.

The Hussainsagar Express used to be hauled by WCM locomotive and later by WCAM3/WCG2 locomotive between CSTM and Pune. After the start of DC to AC conversion of Pune to Kalyan Stretch it was hauled by a single WDM3A diesel locomotive from SCR's Kazipet(KZJ)Diesel loco shed. From mid 2013 onwards the loco links have been changed and it is now being hauled by Central Railway's Kalyan Shed WDM3A/D or WDG 3 Locomotive for its entire journey between Hyderabad and Mumbai CST.

The first train in India traveled from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus in Mumbai to Thane on 16 April 1853 on a track laid by the Great Indian Peninsula Railway. The GIPR line was extended to Kalyan in 1854 and then on the south-east side to Khopoli via Palasdari railway station at the foot of the Western Ghats in 1856. While construction work was in progress across the Bhor Ghat, GIPR opened to public the Khandala-Pune track in 1858. The Bhor Ghat incline connecting Palasdari to Khandala was completed in 1862, thereby connecting Mumbai and Pune. GIPR extended its line to Raichur in 1871 and met the line of Madras Railway thereby establishing direct Mumbai-Chennai link.
The Pune-Raichur sector of the Mumbai-Chennai line was opened in stages: the portion from Diksal in Pune to Barshi Road was opened in 1859, from Barshi Road to Mohol in 1860 and from Mohol to Solapur also in 1860. Work on the line from Solapur southwards was begun in 1865.
