Title: "Rail Alert for South Central Railway Passengers: 8 Trains Partially Cancelled Between Guntur, Rajahmundry, Kakinada, and Visakhapatnam"
If you are planning to travel by train between Guntur, Rajahmundry, Kakinada, and Visakhapatnam in the near future, you might want to take note of this recent announcement by the South Central Railway. Due to non-interlocking works, eight trains running on this route have been partially cancelled.
Non-interlocking works refer to the process of installing or modifying interlocking systems in railway signalling to ensure safe train movement. These works are essential for the efficient and secure operation of the rail network, but they can cause temporary disruptions to train services.
The eight trains that have been affected by this partial cancellation are as follows:
- Train No. 17423 – Visakhapatnam to Guntur Express
- Train No. 17424 – Guntur to Visakhapatnam Express

- Train No. 17228 – Kakinada Town to Visakhapatnam Express
- Train No. 17221 – Visakhapatnam to Guntur Express
- Train No. 17222 – Guntur to Visakhapatnam Express
The partial cancellation of these trains means that some of their stops have been removed from the schedule. This could affect passengers who were planning to board or get off at these stations. Therefore, it is advisable to check the revised timings and stops of these trains before embarking on your journey.
Passengers who have already booked tickets for these trains can either choose to travel on the modified schedule or apply for a refund. The South Central Railway has advised passengers to contact the nearest railway reservation office or use the online facilities available on the official website for any queries or assistance regarding ticket cancellations and refunds.
This disruption in train services is expected to last for a short duration, and the South Central Railway is making all efforts to minimise the inconvenience caused to passengers. The railway authorities have assured that necessary measures are being taken to ensure the safety and comfort of passengers during this period.
Meanwhile, passengers are requested to cooperate with the railway staff and follow all safety guidelines while travelling. They are also advised to plan their journeys accordingly and keep themselves updated with the latest information regarding train schedules and cancellations.
In conclusion, if you are planning to travel by train on the Guntur-Rajahmundry-Kakinada-Visakhapatnam route in the near future, be sure to check the revised schedule of the eight partially cancelled trains and make necessary arrangements for your journey. The South Central Railway is taking all necessary steps to ensure that train services are restored to normalcy as soon as possible.
