Yes HWH Vasco Amaravati and some weeklies used to bypass Vskp main station and used to halt at Duvvada. All weeklies which bypassed Vskp are in weekly sharing slots with other trains in a week which halt at vskp giving no benefit of time. So they have added halt at Vskp. Another problem is watering trains were given at Vijayanagaram for 10-15mins and additionally at Vskp Bypass Simhachalam north for crew change. Being Loco reversal station at Vskp main station certain mechanical running points and food and catering which are located present at main atatuon are not available for travellers of the trains. At present HWH Benguluru Duronto bypasses Vskp

more... Metro is in planning and DPR prepared for 75km approx.
please wait...Translate to EnglishYeah, so basically, the HWH Vasco Amaravati and some of those weekly trains used to skip the main Vskp station and stop at Duvvada instead. But the thing is, all those weekly trains that bypassed Vskp are now sharing slots with other trains in a week that actually stop at vskp, so it doesn't really save any time. That's why they decided to add a stop at Vskp. Another issue is that the trains used to get watered at Vijayanagaram for like 10-15 minutes and then again at Vskp Bypass Simhachalam north for crew change. But since Vskp is the main station with loco reversal, certain mechanical running points and food and catering facilities that are available at the main station are not accessible to the passengers of these trains. Oh, and by the way, right now the HWH Benguluru Duronto also bypasses Vskp.
Oh, and get this - they're planning to build a metro too! They've even prepared a DPR for like a 75km route. Exciting stuff, huh?
