The 22707 / 22708 Visakhapatnam – Tirupati AC Double Decker Express is a superfast train belonging to South Coast Railways of Indian Railways connecting Visakhapatnam and Tirupati both in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.[1][2]

Previously this train was introduced between Kacheguda (Hyderabad)–Guntur Junction section as Guntur–Kacheguda AC Double Decker Express & Kacheguda (Hyderabad)–Tirupati section as Kacheguda–Tirupati Double Decker Express,[3] but both trains were not successful on those routes due to low commuter traveling. So this train was canceled on those routes[4] and transferred on a busy and profitable route i.e. Visakhapatnam - Tirupati section.
