Kindly provide your opinions and flag on this attempt to merge the daily running 17329/30 SSS Hubballi - Vijayawada Express and 17239/40 Simhadri Express.
.
Justification:
1. It would definitely decongest the huge rush that is present in amaravathi express by providing another daily option for intermediate passengers. Also connecting cities of tourism in Karnataka and steel city to city of destiny.

2. Also, in this merger, the districts of nandyal, Prakasam and palanadu like nandyal, giddalur, markapuram (connects ahobilam and srisailam), vinukonda and narasaraopet to the Rajahmundry, kakinada and city of destiny. Currently they have to rely only on trains like amaravathi and prasanti.
.
3. Though CC will be of sleeper and AC coaches type, I have added 10 UR such that day pax is not affected.
.
4. By merging these both, both will get speeded up with respect to their present time table.
