Hyderabad: Sankranthi travel plans to Andhra Pradesh are already hitting a roadblock, with popular trains running out of tickets within minutes of bookings opening. Several services have begun flashing ‘REGRET’, leaving passengers scrambling for alternatives two months ahead of the festival.
With Indian Railways allowing reservations 60 days in advance, demand for travel on Jan 9, 10, 11 and 12 has exposed the massive festive rush to AP. Some are also witnessing heavy demand in AC II and III tiers for Jan 8, 9 and 10, covering the weekend ahead of Sankranthi. The rush is particularly heavy on Secunderabad-Visakhapatnam services. Popular trains, including the Godavari Superfast Express, Garib Rath, LTT Visakhapatnam Express and Visakha Express, are showing ‘REGRET’ in Sleeper class.
