Ratnachal runs from Visakhapatnam to Vijayawada in the afternoon and yesterday there was heavy rush due to cancellations of other trains as well as Vskp MTM and Rayagada Guntur night trains which cater to GS and SL passengers. The situation may be same from Diwali due to frequent cancellations of night trains and the period being Karthika Masam and marriage season. An article is published in today local edition of Eenadu about the heavy rush.

Same situation in Janmabhoomi everyday from past 6 months due to cancellation of Uday and Simhadri express....

I travelled in GS coach from Visakhapatnam to Eluru as GS sitting ticket didn't confirm and I'm Vskp it self they are 150 travellers in the coach and further to 200 by Anakapalle. Last week in GS sitting though 880 seats are available for booking and 200 in tatkal for 4 days it's regret. Even ACC and 3ACE had demand for another coach. Don't know when the trains will be restored.
