Re# 4648298-1              
It can be speeded up almost 45min to one hour if SCR can take it up. Or they can bypass BZA which helps 30min. Hardly any Pass will board except last min travelers either to the VSKP side or SC. coming to the VSKP side they have AP express now so I think it's better to bypass BZA in order to avoid LR which will help at least 30min and we can definitely speed up another 15-20min.

IR can increase speed without considering bypassing Vijayawada also. Problem is ICF or LHB doesn't matter because even with ICF it was doing MPS .IR needs to increase MPS to 130 km/Hr.

Hope they can bypass when BZA gets a full fleged satellite station(If Rayanapadu allocate some 50 cr and develop it) and bypass these trains letting only limited trains like Godavari AP konark into main station as they have more quota.

Talking about pax boarding this train movement of people takes place between Vijayawada-Hyderabad 24hours unlike boarding night trains or busses,So this provides people an option.

Apart from Crew change almost 100+ people board this train, mostly from current booking & easy availability of tickets.

Like Mumbai-Nagpur Durantho, This train can be made as a daily train so that demand can be satisfied.

Strictly personal opinion dont wage a war against it :This train crawls in Rajahmundry station and even stops most of the time.Better provide a 2 minutes halt in Rajahmundry station so that Occupancy can be improved on weekdays .Afterall its 3rd populous city in AP as of now crossing Guntur.

Nagpur DURANTO stops in similar fashion apart from bankers.

Dear SCR please withdraw the proposal of running VSKP SC Duronto on that GNT single line..run it via its original path via KZJ as its MPS also increased recently... without changing the TT pushing train like Duronto in that waste route is not at all appreciable..

Halts can always be provided in order to improve the occupancy. Provided the schedule should be maintained in order to justify the premium fare.

BZA LPI ICE RT is 4 hrs 50 mins (with GNT Halt) and erstwhile RT of Drnto (via WL non Stop) is 5 hr 20 mins..

Hence,

run via GNT will do no harm to premium tag of VSKP drnto provided it is given similar run of LPI ICE.

I agree with you.

At the time of inauguration on 20.06.2016, running time for SC-BZA Intercity Express was 5:30 hours, which was later reduced to 05:15 hours & further to 05:00 hours.

At

the time of introduction, this train use to depart from SC at 05:30 hours & arrive BZA at 11:00 hours.

Subsequently, arrival at BZA was revised as 10:45 hours, and further as 10:30 hours.

Over past 4 years of time, its running time was reduced by 30 minutes, post assessing real-time scenario.

Similar reduction of running time can be done for Duronto as well, basis real-time scenario over certain period of time.
