It can be extended to SKLM road which will provide good connectivity from GNT to VZM SKLM but the question is how much patronage will it be able to get. If they are 100 travellers atleast it is not worth taking there it should a occupancy atleast of 200-300 to extend. Being a full AC train doubt the occupancy numbers as many travel by GS and SL to those Dts then AC. Extention of any train to Palasa is ruled out as it falls under ECOR. I think SKLM has chances of improving facilities for stabling after formation of SCOR as private train is also proposed there. Regarding Kakinada it will not have occupancy to give sufficient numbers of 500-600 min to run a full AC train..

This train is maintained at Tirupati

Instead of keeping rakes idle.,they can make use of it

But why should IR run empty rake where they will not be much occupancy just 10 to 20%. It will block the slot and IR has to bear operational losses. As it is it's not getting proper occupancy as its seating.
