Mayiladuthurai–Coimbatore Jan Shatabdi Express is a Jan Shatabdi Express train connecting Mayiladuthurai Junction and Coimbatore Junction in Tamil Nadu, India. The passenger service is one among the twenty Jan Shatabdi Express trains in India other than Chennai Central–Vijayawada Jan Shatabdi Express that runs within Tamil Nadu.
This passenger service was introduced under Jan Shatabdi Express, had its inaugural run on 20 January 2003 between Thanjavur Junction and Coimbatore Junction in Tamil Nadu, India, flagged-off by then Union Minister of State for Railways, A. K. Moorthy, as a trial service for a limited period of three months.
During June 2004, the Southern Railway zone announced that the service would run until 15 July 2004. As the service initially received poor patronage the railways were forced to operate the service in reverse direction viz. Coimbatore–Thanjavur expecting a better response. During Railway Budget 2005–2006, Lalu Prasad Yadav, the then Minister of Railways announced the extension of service up to Kumbakonam pending gauge conversion. The service was once again extended to Mayiladuthurai Junction, as announced during Railway Budget 2008–2009 by Lalu Prasad Yadav, the then Minister of Railways pending gauge conversion. The service initially numbered as 2083 / 2084 was changed to 12083 / 12084 since December 2010 onwards as a part of train management system over the entire Indian Railways network.
