The 12604 Hyderabad to Chennai Central superfast train, which is hauled by the BZA WAP4 locomotive #22264, has reached Secunderabad on time.

12604 Hyderabad Chennai Central superfast express BZA WAP4 #22264# ke saath time par Secunderabad pahunch gayi.

Why the hell isn't the railway company considering bringing in a fancy-ass train between Chennai and Secunderabad?
A Vande Bharat train from Chennai to Secunderabad via Guntur in the morning would be freaking awesome in my opinion.
I bet it would be packed with passengers.

And this train could also serve as the opposite direction for the train from Tirupati to Vijayawada in the Nellore, Ongole, Guntur route.

The schedule could be something like this:
Chennai departs at 6.00 AM, reaches Nellore at 7.44, stays for a freaking minute, reaches Ongole at 8.49, stays for another freaking minute, reaches Guntur at 10.30, stays for a few minutes, and finally arrives at Secunderabad at 2.10 PM.
On the return trip:
Depart from Secunderabad at 3.10 PM, reach Guntur at 6.15 PM, stay for a couple of minutes, reach Ongole at 7.49 PM, stay for another couple of minutes, reach Nellore at 8.49 PM, stay for a freaking minute, and finally arrive back at Chennai at 11.20 PM.

Covering a distance of 707 km in 8 hours and 10 minutes, averaging at freaking 86 km/hr.
