@Bharathp: Thanks for your positive words. Perhaps younger people like you should take the initiative and cull various posts made by me and others and prepare a document or video. I am very inept at these things.
In the meanwhile here is the progress of doubling and RE between Hyderabad and Bengaluru.
1. Hyderbad to Mahbubnagar which forms part of the Hyderabad suburban system other than about 25 km between Mahbubnagar and Gollapalli where doubling work is ongoing rest is doubled.
Distance 110km.
2. Mahbubnagar---Kurnool---Dhone work of doubling is slow. RE between Kurnool and Dhone watch video. Kurnool produces much agricultural produce.
3. Dhone---Pendekallu---Gooty. Part of the Vijayawada to Goa doubling and RE project.
Dhone to Pendekallu doubled and electrified, watch video. Beyond Gooty doubled to Tinaighat (via Hubli)on Karnataka/Goa border and also electrified. Works are really taking place beween Tenali---Guntur ---Dhone with several sections doubled and electrified. Ports on east like Machilipatnam, Kakinada etc will have good connectivity with Mumbai, Goa etc. Distance between Dhone and Gooty
54 km
4. Gooty to Hindupur
distance 180km electrified line but single in parts. Carries traffic out of Bangalore to Delhi/Hyderabad and Mumbai.
Hindupur to Bangalore doubled and electrified line.
5. Gooty to Hindupur lies in AP and Gooty to Dharmavaram is in SCR zone and rest to Bangalore SWR. Dharmavarm to Penukonda LA problems in AP have hampered doubling. There are twin single lines connecting Dharmavaram and Penukonda, one of the single lines goes through Puttaparthi, Sai Baba's place. Penukonda to Hindupur doubling and RE I covered in the video above 6-7 months for completion.
In this post I am posting videos on works going on in SCR of doubling between Gooty and Dharmavaram, that are now 65% complete for doubling.
Apart from the Dhone---Kurnool---Mahbubnagar
single line section (180 km) and Dharmavaram---Penukonda
section(42 km) the rest will be doubled and electrified in 7-8 months. The single line sections of about 200+ km have to be doubled, track improved at several places in Telangana, Dhone to Mahbubnagar and possibly then Train-18 can be run between Hyderabad to Bangalore.
1. Mahbubnagar to Kacheguda/Hyderabad
