Krishna Express, with this name its very common to hear the terms such as crawler, late runner, too many halts, never comes & goes on time, patience tester, fast passenger etc and etc. Well, all these might be true, but, this legendary train has its own place in the timeline of Indian Railways. One of the oldest running trains, completed its 50 years of service recently. Lifeline of rural Telangana & Andhra Pradesh connecting devotees with Lord Balaji in Tirupati. Most of the passengers on this train are from simple village backgrounds who dont know much about reservations (might be irrelevant now, atleast back then it was so) they can come to your reserved seat and may request you to give some space to sit with an innocent smile on their face :) If i can give another name for this train, i would name it as "Temple Express" for the...

fact being it not only connects to Tirupati but enroute it touches many temple towns like Kinwat (Renuka Devi temple, Mahurgad), Basar (Saraswati Temple), Hyderabad (Capital City), Yadadri ( Yadagiri Gutta Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple), Warangal (Bhadrakali Temple), Vijayawada (Indrakiladri Kanakadurga Temple), Sri Kalahasti (Srikalahasteeshwara Temple/Vayu Lingam) and Tirupati (Venkateswara Swamy/Balaji Temple). As a kid, i did my first train journey by Krishna Express from Warangal to Mahabubabad, a distance of 60 Kms back in early 2000's. I still remember, a night before my first train journey i couldn't sleep out of my excitement that i will be getting into a train tomorrow. That day my parents couldn't get a seat as the train was crowded but they requested a lady who was on aisle seat to make me sit beside her. As the train was going i was continuously looking through the window, after some time that lady asked me "what are you looking at so interesting" i looked at her once and again started looking through the window, she donno that it was my first train journey. Nostalgic moment for me :) All thanks to Indian Railways. While thinking of writing this blog i noticed that this train was introduced on 2-Oct-1974 which means recently this legendary train completed its 50 years of service, have seen birthday wishes on other legendary trains like Telangana, Secunderabad Rajadhani etc but not a single birthday wish for this train. Belated Happy Birthday Krishna Express :)

_/\_:Mindless decision _/\_:Worst decision by SCR
SCR Proposed for the permanent diversion of VSKP LTT Via GNT if So. the train exactly run with a difference of 5-10min behind Sabari express(17229) what about Sabari express then..? the train is already slowed after SRR by-pass if this VSKP LTT Joins the line the train will be slowed even more.
what's the point of diverting a train in a fully saturated line. The 18520 will have additional block B/W SC GNT of Approx 1hr 30min. in order to save 30km and a LR the train is now creating another headache in the entire stretch.
...
more...

will turn into Visakha express 2.0 B/W VSKP-SC
1. Quota Will be effected
2. Crawler of the stretch
3. Will be slowed by approx 2hrs towards VSKP
4. Effects other trains TT.

instead of re-routing this train why cant they ask for the frequency of COA-LTT which is already running.

brainless proposals.
already the train Degraded from SF to M/E. Now after re-routing this will now turns into a Fast Passenger
