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.

The train comes under Izzatnagar division of North Eastern Railway. The Permanent Maintenance occurs at the pitlines at Tanakpur. It has 3 rakes.

Initially, the train ran between Lucknow and Allahabad (now called Prayagraj). Later it was extended to Bareilly via Sandila, Hardoi and Shahjahanpur. On 27 February 2019, the train was extended to Tanakpur via Izzatnagar and Pilibhit Also, a slip train bifurcated from Chopan and ran till Barwadih; later it was discontinued. At present the train runs between Shaktinagar/Singrauli and Tanakpur with a rake reversal at Allahabad Junction (Prayagraj).
