It is needed to extend 17239/17240 Simhadri Express to Nandyal change PM @ Visakhapatnam.

If it is extended, it is useful for Nandyal people to go Visakhapatnam and They can go to srisailam easily with this directly. Which is 160 km and Nandyal is an district headquarter

This area definitely needs more connectivity. Connections to Rayalaseema from the rest of Andhra is very less. Rayalseema has some services to Hyderabad and many do break journeys or rely on Prasanti and HWH VSG are running with full capacity.

When you consider the necessity and need of travelling public of Guntur Vijayawada or Rajahmundry the extention to Palasa will is 50% more then the demand of the people of Vskp VjA section towards Nandyal based on the migration of people who work in VJA Guntur and farm labour.

It is best to separate the RSA of Simhadri Express and Palnadu Express. It is required to extend Simhadri Express to Nandyal because it is useful for Srisailam passengers mainly and change PM to Visakhapatnam. How many individuals are in support of this statement?
