If this train is extended up to Kakinada, it is very useful to the passengers of East Godavari district and also to the passengers of visakha Patnam District
to some extent .
17330 CCT UBL Exp can be started around 7.30 in the Morning at kakinada and pick up its regular TT from BZA to UBL.

17329/17330 UBL BZA UBL Exp is SWR Rake. It should be extended via Eluru, TDD, RJY, SLO

Yes. RSA with other trains should be removed. Deficated 3 Rakes are required. I always see UBL BZA trains are jampacked. Speeding up of these trains is necessary.

Yes. It is a Day Dream. But it may be realized in future if we demand strongly. Political Leaders should also bring pressure on the Railways.

Very useful one.. Thanks
|| Meter gauge at Vijayawada ||
Vintage timetables showing the schedules of the meter gauge trains on the Machilipatnam-Vijayawad-Guntur route. The route was converted to broad gauge by 1962 (BZA-MTM section) and 1964 (BZA-GNT route), so records of the meter gauge traffic here are very hard to find.
Pic 1: The original Krishna bridge at Vijayawada. This is the abandoned bridge whose pillars are now visible between the existing 2 bridges at Vijayawada now.

This bridge was popularly known as the 'Wenlock bridge' (Named after the then Governor of Madras, Lord Wenlock who inaugurated the bridge).
This was a dual gauge bridge with the BZA-GNT MG line running as a third rail on the BZA-MAS broad gauge line. The bridge and the MG line were opened on March 17th, 1893. The broad gauge line was opened for goods traffic on July 15th, 1897 and for passenger traffic in 1899. The attached picture was taken in 1898 shortly before the opening of the route for passenger traffic.
The MG line on this bridge was dismantled and shut down from October 13th, 1964, when a parallel broad gauge line was laid between KCC and GNT, and the bridge itself was abandoned a few years later.
Pic 2: Meter gauge trains on the MTM-GNT section in 1961 (Timetable provided by Prof. Aravind from IRFCA).
A lot of Meter gauge trains originated from Machilipatnam (known as Masulipatam at that time) to Macherla, Sattenaplle, Narsaraopet etc. The Masulipatam-Hubli passenger listed here later became the Guntur-Hubli passenger and still runs today as the BZA-UBL passenger.
About 1956, a passenger used to operate between MTM and SBC. However, around 1958, this passenger was replaced with the 85/86 SC-SBC passenger (which is the present day 12785/86 KCG-SBC express). However the SBC-DMM passenger was extended to GTL and later to GNT and finally to BZA after gauge conversion, and now runs as the BZA-BNC passenger.
One can also see the 'Satyanarayanapuram' just before BZA station on the Gudivada-Vijayawada section. This station lay on the old MG alignment outside BZA. During gauge conversion, the BG line was laid on a different alignment, avoiding this station.

Great:Excellent update sir.
Unable to make out if the under-slung arch is there or not in the bridge in the movie I said above. But looks like the same bridge.

It is indeed the same bridge. You can see the train passing through the old MG Bogada tunnel before crossing the viaduct.

Dorabhavi Viaduct was closed in 1997. GNT-GTL line was opened to public on 1997 when 725/26 Amravati Express was introduced. Bridge was dismantled by 1997-2002.
