Cherlapalli Railway Station to Handle More Trains Amid Secunderabad Revamp

The number of trains departing from the newly developed Cherlapalli Railway Station is increasing. In a temporary move, the South Central Railway has decided to shift the operations of four trains from Secunderabad to Cherlapalli Terminal. This decision comes as part of efforts to ensure smooth operations while Secunderabad Railway Station undergoes a ₹720 crore redevelopment.

The Krishna Express (Train No. 17405), which runs between Tirupati and Adilabad, will now depart from Cherlapalli starting March 26. The train will leave Cherlapalli Terminal at 8:10 PM and reach Bollaram Station at 9:14 PM. On its return journey from Adilabad, the train (Train No. 17406) will reach Bollaram at 4:29 AM and arrive at Cherlapalli at 5:45 AM.

A special train (Train No. 07446) running between Kakinada and Lingampalli will also be rerouted through Cherlapalli from April 2 to July 1. It will depart from Cherlapalli at 7:20 AM and reach its destination, Lingampalli, at 9:15 AM. On its return journey (Train No. 07445), the train will depart Lingampalli at 6:30 PM and arrive at Cherlapalli at 7:30 PM.

The Hadapsar Express (Train No. 17014), originating from Kazipet, will now reach Cherlapalli at 8:20 PM. On its return journey (Train No. 17013), the train will arrive at Cherlapalli at 3:00 AM. This change will come into effect from April 22.

Additionally, the Janmabhoomi Express (Train No. 12806), which operates between Lingampalli and Visakhapatnam, will also be shifted to Cherlapalli from April 25. According to the South Central Railway, the train will arrive at Cherlapalli at 7:15 AM on its onward journey and reach Cherlapalli again at 6:05 PM on its return.

This temporary shift aims to facilitate the redevelopment work at Secunderabad Railway Station while enhancing Cherlapalli’s role as a key terminal for train operations.
