Renigunta yard works impact Kerala-bound trains

HYDERABAD More than 50 trains operating between various destinations towards Kerala, including services originating from or terminating at Hyderabad, Secunderabad and Cherlapalli, will be diverted or rescheduled for nearly 48 days due to ongoing infrastructure upgrades at Renigunta yard and the commissioning of an Electronic Interlocking (EI) system in the Gudur-Renigunta-Tirupati section of the Guntakal division under South Coast Railway (SCoR). Several trains running to and from Kerala, including those passing through South Central Railway (SCR) routes, will operate on altered schedules or would be diverted during the maintenance period.

Passengers travelling towards Tirupati and Kerala have been advised to check the status of their trains before commencing their journey, as a number of important stations may be skipped temporarily including Tirupati, Renigunta, Chittoor, Kadapa, Nellore, Chirala, Bapatla and Tenali, among others. Passengers have been urged to stay updated through official railway channels and make travel plans accordingly, said a SCR release on Wednesday.
