Mangalagiri (Amaravati) - Chittoor Horsley SuperFast Express (ICE) via Guntur, Tenali, Ongole, Nellore, Gudur and Tirupathi.
I prefer Mangalagiri as a terminal for ICE trains because MAG is just 500m to Mangalagiri Bus Station, whereas Guntur and Vijayawada have their Bus Stations 2km apart. Moreover, Mangalagiri is the South East tip of Amaravati and a journey from Mangalagiri to the Government Complex takes hardly 30min. Buses are available from Mangalagiri Bus Station to Secretariat for every 15-20min. To resolve the PM issue, i joined two trains together and planned PM at CCT.
