The 12805 / 12806 Janmabhoomi Express is an InterCity service of Indian Railways that travels from Lingampalli to Visakhapatnam. It was first introduced between Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada Jn. It was later extended up to Tenali Jn and then the Nagarjuna Express (Secunderabad––Secunderabad) was cancelled and thus made the Visakhapatnam–Secunderabad Janmabhoomi Express via Tenali Junction, and now it is extended from Secunderabad Junction to Lingampalli. It is an express service that travels in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The train travels at an average speed of 55 km/h and uses a WDP4D (EMD GT46MAC) of Gooty from Lingampalli to Tenali Jn then switches to a WAP4 of Erode from Tenali Jn to Vishakapatnam Jn . It is classified as an Express in the Indian Railways classification list.
Janmabhoomi has 24 coaches, of which 8 are unreserved, 2 are luggage cum baggage coaches, 11 Non AC chair car second class coaches and 3 AC chair car. Daily one train will start at Visakhapatnam and one train will start from Lingampalli station.

Earlier it was hauled by WDP-4D of Gooty Shed from Secunderabad Junction to Tenali Junction because the Secunderabad Junction– route was not electrified and WAP-4 of Erode Shed from Tenali Junction to Visakhapatnam.
Currently the route is electrified and it is hauled by a Lallaguda Loco Shed-based WAP-7 or Vijayawada Loco Shed based WAP-4 electric locomotive on its entire journey.
To avoid time consumption at Tenali Junction for loco reversal, this train will be attached with Vijayawada Loco Shed based WAP-4 or WAP-7 at rear side and runs as push-pull mode between Guntur Junction and Vijayawada Junction and Vice versa.

Janmabhoomi Express is a popular train to take but can be very busy. Alternatives include the Godavari Express, Visakhapatnam–Hazur Sahib Nanded Superfast Express and the Konark Express (which stops at Visakhapatnam, but usually follows the normal route of Konark which is Mumbai to Bhubaneswar). The Secunderabad–Visakhapatnam Duronto Express is also an option as is the Visakhapatnam–Secunderabad Garib Rath Express. Duronto is faster but does not have full accommodations; Garib Rath is slower but has full accommodations.
