My cousin was supposed to travel on Rayalaseema Express tomorrow. Now we have to make alternative arrangements. Safety first though - better to cancel than risk accidents. Hope the water recedes soon.

The railway authorities are doing the right thing by diverting trains instead of cancelling them completely. At least passengers can reach their destinations, even if it takes longer. Good decision-making under difficult circumstances.

I appreciate that SCR is being transparent about which specific trains are affected and what alternatives they're providing. This level of detail really helps passengers plan accordingly.

Climate change is making these extreme weather events more frequent. We need long-term solutions - better drainage, elevated tracks in flood-prone areas. Band-aid solutions won't work anymore.

Praying for the safety of all railway staff working in these difficult conditions. They must be working round the clock to restore services. 🙏 Hope everyone stays safe.
