think its high time introduce a new S/F daily train between HYB - HWH. I have created IMG12791/92 Hooghly S/F Exp but via alternate route to give direct connectivity to G, Durg, R, BSP, TATA from HYB. I request you all please flag this train.

I Was Quite Doubtful About This Train Before My Journey. On 16th When I Reached Secunderabad At 04:25 Hrs, I Found The Train Standing At Platform No 1.

Now The Area Of Improvements Needed Are
