According to number, all odd train numbers are up and even are down. (Some passengers exempted as they do not have return versions) Often, it has been noted that the train's journey from it's zone/area to the destination is considered up and the journey back to its home is considered down:
E.g. 12603/04 MAS-HYB Express belongs to MAS.
Therefore, 12603 MAS-HYB is considered up and 12604 HYB-MAS is considered down.
.
...
more...

Many exceptions have been pointed out for this again:
12219/20 SC-LTT Duronto belongs to SC but 12219 Up is LTT-SC.
12759/60 HYB-MAS Charminar Express belongs to SC but 12759 Up is MAS-HYB.
.
Theories have then come up stating all trains moving:
South - North: Up
North - South: Down
West - East: Up
East - West: Down
.
Exceptions for this rule may also exist, unknown to me. :)
