Ballari Jn - Look around and enjoy the station. A sacred place where Mahatma Gandhi once spent 8 hours. - Vishwanath Joshi

I booked a ticket from Vskp to BVRM for the night of the 22nd. I got a message the day before yesterday afternoon saying that the train is canceled. But when I checked the booking status last night, the booking is still active and not canceled, only the reservation is canceled. Now I have to book on the Visakha Express with Waiting List 29.

The Vskp BZA Vskp section is handled by BZA crew, and also the BZA Gudur section. As you mentioned, the shortage of crew might be a new reason for cancellation that we haven't thought of before. What's even more frustrating is Simhapuri, which completes its journey by 10:30 and leaves at 18:00, well before the ground works begin and end.
