Good initiative by SCR but why only weekly frequency? During peak season, daily special trains are required. The Kakinada-Mysore route especially needs more frequent service.

As someone who frequently travels between Hyderabad and Tirupati, the Kacheguda-Tiruchanur special is a blessing! The regular trains are always overbooked. Hope they maintain cleanliness and punctuality.

The timing is perfect with Diwali season approaching. Many people travel to their native places during this time. Hope the ticket booking process is smooth and doesn't crash like last year.

Appreciate SCR's planning but wish they had announced this earlier. Many people have already made alternative travel arrangements. Better late than never though! 👍

The Barauni-Chennai special train is interesting - connects North India to South directly. Good for migrant workers traveling home for festivals. Hope they provide adequate food and water facilities.
