it wont have much impact sirji.....
being very very limited seats available in other trains like paddu/charminar/narayanadri Nlr and Ogl dist pax will take simhapuri....
and many of Nlr dist pax book from NYP/KHT and BP as NLR.
May be now BZA-SC bookings will be good for simhapuri.

yes, 12710 is more in demand and the only option for CLX - NLR pax to reach in mrng time. For return jrny, lot of other options available.

---

bcz 22:55 dep from SC is main advantage...as charminar is the last train which depart at 6:55PM,even tough it reaches early to NLr but most prefer to leave homes or work places after dinner and comfortably board simhapuri

Demand may increase, but not that quickly sir. It may take some time for demand to be reflected in terms of bookings.
As said by Sumanth anna, there may be increase in demand from stations like BPP, BZA etc.
Just now checked, GN quota seats in 12709 were reduced from 429 to 390 from 17/11.

reduction is bcz of replacement of SL ith 2A
from Oct the CC will be H1,A2,B2, in place of H1,A1,B2
