The following trains are introduced in last few back years to connect Hyderabad(old capital of AP) to each districts of AP like
1.Godavari Express to Visakhapatnam - Visakhapatnam Dist.
2.Gautami Express to Kakinada - East Godavari Dist.
3.Narsapur Express to Narsapur - West Godavari Dist.
4.Machilipatnam

Express to Machilipatnam - Krishna Dist.
5.Delta Exp/Pass to Repalle - Guntur Dist.
6.Simhapuri Express to Gudur - Nellore Dist.
7.Venkatadri Express to Chittoor - Chittoor Dist.
Now these are running succesfully and have good connectivity from AP dists to Hyderabad but has less connectivity to Telangana and the state divided and 2 state capitals are formed so much connectivity from these capitals to innerstate connectivity is needed so the following train services are much needed
From AP capital:
1.Ananthpur Dist which is largest dist in AP but less connectivity to capital so Hindupur(Proposed New District) - SSPN - DMM - ATP to Vijayawada an Overnight Express is needed.
2.Kurnool Dist - kurnool is the old capital of AP but it has less connectivity to BZA,VSKP so a overnight exp KRNT - NDL - GNT - BZA.
3.Kadapa Dist - ICE to Vijayawada
4.Chittoor Dist - still date there is no end to end starting train from Tirupati to Vijayawada even passenger train also so more trains are needed via Nandyal,Kadapa and ICE via mainline
5.Nellore Dist. - morning ICE from Gudur to BZA alternate to Krishna Exp
6.Ongole Dist. - morning MEMU services to Guntur and vijayawada are needed
7.West Godavari - If doubling works are completed the more MEMU services to Narsapur and bhimavaram are needed and EMU services to Eluru.
8.East Godavari - Mornibg ICE from Kakinada - Rajahmundry to capital city.
9.Visakha Dist - Overnight Trains
10.Vizianagaram and Srikakulam Dists - All Mun Cor. and municipalities are connected to PNBS by bus but there is no proper trains to BZA so an Overnight Express is needed.
From Hyderabad:
1.Morning ICE from adilabad to hyderabad
2.Passenger train to Karimnagar via peddapalli.
3.Increasing MEMU services to Kazipeta and Warangal
4.More pass trains to each dist of TS.
and Suggestions please from AP and TS Side people
