Remove all the intermediate halts between vijayawada to dornakal except 3 or 4 ( express halts ) because none of the passenger train will run in this route correct time (20-40min dealay is ok)
Only 3 daily passenger services are running in this route they also running with atleast 1-4 hrs delay
Vijayawada - bhadrachalam road passenger : earlier it is the most puntual train but now a days it is starting from vijayawada with minimum 3-4 hours delay.
Eventhough...
more...

vijayawada- kazipet passenger starts from vijayawada at 12:50 ontime it will reach kazipet and all intermediate station with minimum 45min to 2 hours delay because of the too many overtakings scheduled
Vijayawada - dornakal - kazipet pushpul does not know when it will start from vijayawada because it is having RSA with ongole- vijayawada/ Rajahmundry - vijayawada MEMU. If train is running with 20–40 min delay then you are very luckiest person.
There is bi weekly so called FAST passenger vijayawda - mahabubad - peddapalli which usually gets reached to khammam with atleast 2 hours of delay. SCR consider only this route as income from the frieght services only. They maintain goods services very punctual but not the passenger services. So better to shut the services and use the current stations for overtaking purposes and use to run goods services.
