Fully agree now that CSMT platforms are ready and also LTT has platform 6 and 7 ready, CR can shift the train to LTT and increase the number of coaches to 24 from 16. Mainly, 2 SL coaches can go upto 8 SL coaches and another 2 3E coaches. We can also expect both Hussain Sagar express and Hyd - CSMT express (with RSA) to be converted into SF from Express to improve the travel time. We can expect both trains start at around 4 pm CSMT - Hyd express and 7 pm for Hussain Sagar and reach at early morning suitable hours like 6 am and 8 am respectively. This will increase the patronage and get the train booked fully. The travel time can come down to 13 hrs, which is real time for these trains. The intermediate stops can be rationalised to actually cater to Hyd...
