Summary:
more-inThere is a viable solution to end the perennial problem of detention of trains, due to cross movement of trains entering and leaving Visakhapatnam Railway Station. Connecting all the three lines to the departure yard and bringing them into service will facilitate running of coaching trains along with freight trains thereby ending the problem of detention of trains between Duvvada and Visakhapatnam, says the railway source. There are two lines going from the railway station to the departure yard, besides a partial third line, from Visakhapatnam Railway Station. Proper utilisation of the existing lines, construction of additional platforms and early completion of the third line to Gopalapatnam is the solution. It may be recalled that this newspaper in its report: ‘A way out to bunching of trains at outer’ (The Hindu 18/02/2016) had underlined the need to bring these lines to use for operating coaching trains towards Vijayawada..
