Approx. 676 Passengers De-boarding at Tiruvannamalai from this Hyderabad Special today and every week it averages out 500+ pilgrims to TNM.
But, this Poor train had to suffer every week to cross RU-KPD section, stuck in between these section multiple times(Corridor Block/Any other reasons) for more than 4 hours almost every alternate week.
This train also has just an 2 hrs gap in NCJ to return causing more than 6 Hours Delay and got rescheduled multiple times. Now, pilgrims don't trust this train anymore and travelling to KPD via bus to board any...
more... other train in return journey.
Any Solutions other than cutting short the journey in NCJ? SCR experts?
