Superfast trains are a series of express trains operated by the Indian Railways that make fewer stops while skipping the intermediate ones, making the journey duration shorter. Due to the quality service provided to commuters, the fare of Superfast trains is higher than that of ordinary express or passenger trains, as they have a "superfast surcharge" added to it. These trains run at a minimum average speed of 55 km/h and are numbered with a prefix of 12 or 22 or 20 (formerly it was 2). As per the record for 2017, 550 pairs of superfast trains operated under the Indian Railways. The 12908 Maharashtra Sampark Kranti Express, which runs between NZM and BDTS, is the fastest non-Shatabdi, non-Rajdhani superfast train, with an average speed of 72 and a maximum speed of 110.
The classes of travel available on Superfast Express Trains are Second Sitting (2S), Sleeper (SL), First Class (FC), AC Chair Car (CC), Executive Chair Car (EC), AC 3 Tier (3A), AC 2 Tier (2A), and AC First Class (1A).
The Superfast Train runs at an average speed of 45–70 km/h, and its maximum permissible speed is 130 km/h.
