Almost 300 seats empty yesterday also. It's just a 8 coacher VB. Why SR planned such route. Why wasting a VB rake one these illogical routes ?

It's a daily scene from Renigunta to Chennai in both sides. Get occupancy only Vijayawada Reniginta sector with 60-80% weekdays while weekends 90-100% . On Sunday afternoon dep from Vja people travel to Chennai rest days hardly 100 travellers travel from VJA - NLR sector to Chennai another 50-100 board at Reniginta. Weekends the number from Renigunta goes upto 200. Vijayawada Division officials recommended to via Renigunta.

Its a good train . It will get full between MAS to RU if it leaves MAS at 07:30 AM instead of 05:30 am. No proper connection to central at 05:30 for west and north suburn people (where we have lot of tirupathy travellers) like other cities. it should leave at 07:30 from MAS. It also should stop at TRL or AJJ station for better passengers

Useful Agree
By the time you reach TTE, that berth is already booked in current (if avbl). So, if this facility is done, then pax can upgrade their berth instantly, if they want.
And the empty berth in lower class will go in current availbality.
Also, now TTE can book empty berths till next charting station only, not full journey.

If TTE can book empty berths till next charting station only, not full journey ?
Then, there can be another use case provided on IRCTC as "upgradation of class" by paying difference fare + clerkage charges and vacant the existing the seat/berth which sud b displayed on IRCTC as well.

Actually on PRS tickets one can do this at counters (before chart preparation) by paying only clerical charges (I did it from 2ac to 1ac in KSK by paying I guess 50-55 Rs) but still not available in e-tickets. For that you have to cancel & rebook which results in loss of 200 rs (+ convenience charges twice). It should be provided on IRCTC too (& that too till 2nd chart preparation, i.e. 30 mins before dep)

Wasted lot of time should be done in 1.5hrs. VJA Renigunta running should be decreased by 15-20 mins. Many runs it runs ahead of time stopping at Nellore and early at Renigunta.

Yes, the timing should be reduced. To me, the train between Tel - Ogl also seemed like a normal express
