SCR urged to expand Neredmet Railway Station for express train halts
The Train Travellers Association has requested the South Central Railway to extend platforms at Neredmet Railway Station to accommodate 24-coach express trains. They also suggested using excavated material from a nearby bridge project to lower construction costs and proposed adjusting train timings for better temple access.
Why it matters
This reflects local infrastructure advocacy aimed at improving public transportation efficiency and accessibility for commuters and religious pilgrims.
The Train Travellers Association (TTA) has submitted a representation to the South Central Railway (SCR) authorities seeking an extension of platforms at Neredmet Railway Station to accommodate 24-coach trains.
In a press release issued on Sunday, the association said longer platforms would enable mainline express trains operating from the Cherlapalli side towards Lingampalli to halt at Neredmet, providing a major convenience to thousands of passengers living in the surrounding areas.
TTA president Noor Ahmed Ali said the proposed Road Under Bridge (RUB) at Neredmet has gained momentum following the foundation stone laying ceremony conducted earlier this year by Malkajgiri MP Etela Rajender and Malkajgiri MLA Marri Rajasekhar Reddy.
