About Upukol Express (712)
Upukol Express (Train No. 712) is the Dhaka–Noakhali service, the outbound counterpart to Train 711. Departing Dhaka, it takes passengers through the eastern plains to the coastal Noakhali district. The train serves the same affordable Shovan Chair and Shovan classes, making it accessible for the wide range of passengers who travel this coastal corridor — including government employees posted in Noakhali, students at Noakhali Science and Technology University, and families visiting relatives in the deltaic districts of Feni, Lakshmipur, and Noakhali. The route passes through Comilla, one of eastern Bangladesh's most important commercial cities, before continuing southward to the coast. Noakhali's proximity to Hatiya Island and the emerging Sandwip coastal tourism zone means that the Upukol Express also carries an increasing number of adventure tourists.
