Restoration of 10 km lengthabondened BG line between Vejandla(in GNT..TEL SECTION). and Tsundur(TEL-BPP section) is very much need of the day as it opens the doors for putting GNT/NGNT station on the main line. More express trains can be diverted on this route via NGNT/GNT stations reducing traffic congestion on TEL junction for Goods trains also.
Keeping in view the growing importance of Guntur City(Capital District of Andra Pradesh) RESTORATION of this small stretch will be a vital in GNT Division of SCR.

But what will be the benefit with this short line? Bypass lines are usually constructed to bypass busy, congested stations or to avoid reversals. TEL is neither congested, nor do trains from south towards GNT need a reversal at TEL. This line will not even help decrease congestion as instead of waiting at TEL for mainline clearance, now trains will have to wait in the outer of some small station for clearance. While it does save around 30 min journey time, it is also skipping a major junction where a lot of passengers get down to transfer to other trains. I feel there is no practical benefit of skipping TEL to save 15 km.
