Trains under SCR to keep up optimal rate of 130kmph
Hyderabad: The South Central Railway (SCR) has actually boosted the optimum allowable rate of train solutions to 130 kilometres per hr in bulk of the areas of Secunderabad, Vijayawada as well as Guntakal Divisions.
According to SCR authorities, these areas facilities development functions, upkeep jobs as well as signaling facets were executed constantly after due permission was accorded by Research Designs as well as Standards Organisation (RDSO), Lucknow in 2020.

“The sections that are covered under the speed implementation concept are-Secunderabad-Kazipet-Balharshah, Kazipet-Kondapalli sections in Secunderabad Division, Kondapalli-Vijayawada-Gudur of Vijayawada Division, Renigunta-Guntakal-Wadi of Guntakal Division.

Arun Kumar Jain, General Manager (In- cost), SCR stated, “The enhancement of maximum permissible speed in these sections is likely to result in the improvement of the average speed of both Passenger-carrying trains as well as Goods trains. This will have a positive impact on the punctuality of the trains and will enhance the sectional capacity of these critical and saturated sections. This concept will also help in reducing the running time of passenger trains considerably and paves the way for the smooth operation of train services.”
