Let's Discuss About Extensions,New Trains, Diversions,FEDL projects, Frequency Increases of Kakinada and Other Godavari District Towns like Rajamundry,Let's Share your Proposals and opinions
My Proposals
Bi Weekly SF To South TN
Weekly SF To South Kerala
Bi
...
more...
Weekly SF To Manglore
Bi Weekly SF to New Delhi or Jammu
Weekly Towards Jaipur
All Of these Can be Run Via BVRT as Those Regions don't Have any long distance trains
Most of these can be possible after New Pitline Completion in Kakinada
And Completion of Vijayawada Nidadavolu Electrification and Doubling

Kakinada LTT Frequency Increase,
Kakinada Shirdi Frequency Increase


Extensions
Circar Extension Till PDY
Bhavnagar Exp Extension Till Rajasthan


Possible Reasons Why RB Rejected Similar Proposals like these

Slot Issues
Maintenance
Occupancy
Saturated Destination Station


All These Trains Can be Operated in a Single Slot Till BZA
New Slot Need To Be Created Till KPD for 5 Days a Week CCT- South TN,Kerala, Manglore Train Can use This
Further South TN,Kerala Train can use same Slot till Coimbatore
Single Slot Till Bhopal or Bina Jn Can be Used For Jaipur and Delhi Train
For all These SCR Should Try To Work Hard and Convince Other Zones even for getting a arrival at these saturated Destination Stations they should work together maybe try get a arrival at any other satellite stations of major cities or can be extended further to any other terminal near to these Major Stations For Example Train to Kanyakumari can be shifted to Nagercoil or Vice versa

Here Maintenance Will Be Solved Once New Pitline at Kakinada comes to Operation

Occupancy Is not a huge Issue For Kakinada ofcourse it may be not have population like major cities but still Kakinada trains has great occupancy reason for that is Rajamundry,RJY fills almost half of the train that starts of Kakinada it can still do the same,
When New Trains were asked Kakinada it shouldn't be considered only for Kakinada one should keep in mind it Travels Through Rajamundry and Other Densely Population and Agricultural Rich Konaseema, Godavari Region and Both Districts Population is Way more than a Metropolitan City and Easily Fill up a Train

I Heard that BZA Division want to Develop Kakinada as Getting New Trains From Saturated BZA Station is tough so they wanted Kakinada as main Terminal for BZA Div
