Train movements on the Kazipet-Balharshah section will see changes on September 9 and 10, with South Central Railway (SCR) announcing cancellations, rescheduling, partial cancellations and regulations of several services. At least thirteen trains are impacted by the temporary operational changes.
South Central Railway said the changes are due to non-interlocking works for commissioning Automatic Block Signaling between Jammikunta and Potkapalli stations on the Kazipet-Balharshah section.
While most of the changes will be implemented on September 10, some long-distance services will be regulated on September 9. Passengers travelling on the affected routes should take note of the dates and changes applicable to their trains.

Why are these trains being affected?
South Central Railway stated that the temporary changes are required due to non-interlocking works for the commissioning of Automatic Block Signaling between Jammikunta and Potkapalli stations on the Kazipet-Balharshah section.
The changes cover different categories, so passengers need to check whether their train is fully cancelled, regulated, partially cancelled or rescheduled, along the specific dates as mentioned by the railway.
