It is bypassing Visakhapatnam. Okay fine
But why technical halt at Simhachalam North. Why can't it be converted into commercial stop

What is the reason behind the technical halt out there?

Is there any such technical halt for this train at Southern Railway zone? because it skips the entire zone

Atleast DVD can be given a proper halt. I think watering is also available at DVD

DVD doesn't have watering facility PF1 main line PF2 is loop always occupied by freight to let passenger trains from Vskp pass. Realignment needs to be done at SHM north or SHM to halt bypass trains for 5mins as regular stop with crew change.

Crew change point. As Vskp main station is skipped crew change the train at SHM north. Vijaywada Visakhapatnam is a section for crew and Chennai/Renigunta to Benguluru region is a section for crew.

Sad state of Duronto Express.

In my opinion, the eastern zones (esp NFR, SER, ECoR) need to really improve in terms of maintenance. Better maintained zones are SCR, WR, SWR, SR.

Re# 5992670-6              
Agree.. even ICF coaches are well maintained in the SR, WR.

SRC's maintenance is notorious. A premium train is fitted with an old coach which isn't maintenened as well.
This is my experience from last 14-15 years travelling in this route.

A passenger train had detailed just leaving kotavalasa junction. 2 coaches and the loco seems to have snapped out of the track. No injuries or fatalities. 12703 was stuck at VZM for over an hour. 12245 reached VZM 25mins before and left at 10:20 before 12703. After kantakapalle there's a speedy restriction in place due to the derailment.. we however have crossed the site and moving as usual towards BZA
