There is a station called Gooty hidden in a corner of big state of AP.
This place called GY, has one track northwards towards HYB, while in south , track splits into single lines towards YPR via DMM, and via Tadipatri towards Chennai..............................
The importance of this station can be gauged from the fact that Mumbai-Chennai lines and HYB-Bangalore line cross each other at this point.

Not exactly, GTL lost its shine after the gauge conversion. Venkatadri and SBC SF(express once) were from GTL initially.
And not to say,the glory can be regained once the Doubling and electrification is done
