I think the new AP state needs fast train connection between its major cities. As of now fast trains possible in coastal route. So speed train needed to connect Port cities like Visakahapatnam, Kakinada( Samrlakota), then small cities like Rajhamundry, Tadepalligudem, Eeluru, main junction Vijayawada, Ongole, nellore.
I feel a Shatabdi express which is due for years in coastal AP need of a hour to support the new state. As investment flowing its need of the our.
Fastest train between VSKP-BZA is duranto takes 4 hr 15 min, BZA-NLR 2 hr 45

min by Raj, Duranto etc. So fastest possible time is 7 hrs with out stops and slacks. So with 30 min slack and 30 min for stops makes it 8 hrs which is very much possible with a LHB rake.
***Visakhapatnam-Nellore Shatabadi express
Visakhapatnam - 5:55 am
Samalkot (SLO) - 7:35 7:36
Rajhamundry (RJY) - 8:34 8:36 ( Slack 10 min)
Tadepalligudem (TDD) - 9:07 9:08
Eeluru (EE) - 9:39 9:40
Vijayawada (BZA) - 10:45 10:55 (20 min slack here)
Ongole ( OGL) - 12:35 12: 36
Nellore (NLR ) - 14:00 ( Slack 10 min )
Only one train will be over taken between VSKP-BZA ( east coast), one between BZA-NLR ( that to 2 days in week)
++++++++++
Return
******Nellore-visakhapatnam shatabdi express
Nellore(NLR) - 14 :30
Ongole (OGL) - 15:44 15:45

i don't understand why you people are running behind shatabdi's , take a bow of double decker not even once it has gotten seats filled completely in either direction(tpty and gnt from kcg) we just need ordinary superfast with general quota in all stations think about garib not about show off things they dont serve the actual purpose

Btw nobody asked for a double decker its just the whims and fancies of few politicians.And I don't think its appropriate to gauge patronage based on a DD with awkward timings,which is cramped no back rest and same fare as CC.
And I agree with u more than a Satabdhi we need more ICEs with avg speed >60.

SBC-MAS has 2 shathabdi express trains they always runs with full demand. But single trip DD struggling. How can you relate DD with shatabdi ??
If 150 kmph is criteria SC-PUNE, MAS-SBC, MAS-CBE shatandi express shouldn't be there.
There is good demand shatabdi express in coastal region, in a year or 2 it increases more.
