Andhra Pradesh AC Express was a good opportunity wasted by respective Zones, too many halts and too much slack have wasted the potential of this train. They should've given minimal halts outside Andhra Pradesh like Tamil Nadu Express, I think they should convert it into a Normal Superfast Train by replacing some AC Coaches with Sleeper ones.
The excess coaches from AP AC Express can be used to form Guntur New Delhi Rajdhani Express, as after the construction of the Capital Amravati demand for a Rajdhani will be made anyway. The route for Rajdhani should be Guntur- Vijayawada- Rajahmundry- Samalkot- Visakhapatnam- Vizianagaram- Rayagada- Titlagarh- Raipur (from there it can take either Nagpur Route or Katni Route). This route has the potential to...
more... fill up a Bi-Weekly Rajdhani with utmost ease.
Even Bhubaneswar Rajdhani via Sambalpur too remains in Waiting List almost every time with high patronage from Rourkela and Sambalpur. I guess it's about time that some new routes are tried for Rajdhani trains.
