establishment of the new zone is expected to boost employment opportunities within the state. This includes the creation of a new Railway Recruitment Board in Visakhapatnam, which will facilitate more local hiring¹.

2. **New Trains**: With the new zone, more trains are likely to originate from Visakhapatnam and other parts of Andhra Pradesh, including premium services like Rajdhani s, Shatabdi s, and Humsafars¹.

3. **Increased Quota**: There will be an increased quota allocation for the state as more trains will now originate from there¹.

4. **Tourism**: The zone will likely introduce regional tourism packages, which could boost local tourism and economy¹.

5. **Connectivity**: The introduction of more MEMUs (Mainline Electric Multiple Units) and DEMUs (Diesel Electric Multiple Units) will enhance connectivity between cities in Andhra Pradesh¹.

6. **Suburban Railway Systems**: Plans for suburban railway systems in cities like Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada are on the cards, similar to the MMTS in Hyderabad. This will benefit daily commuters and students living along these routes by reducing travel time and traffic congestion¹.

7. **Infrastructure Development**: The new zone promises better infrastructure development, including the construction of additional platforms at Visakhapatnam and a bulb line near the city to prevent train detentions¹.

8. **Port Connectivity**: Improved connectivity to Krishnapatnam and the upcoming Bandar ports is also anticipated, which will support trade and commerce¹.

These benefits are expected to enhance the overall development and efficiency of railway operations in the region, contributing to economic growth and improved services for the people of Andhra Pradesh.

Providing a stop at Visakhapatnam Junction would be advantageous over the regular halt at Vizianagaram Junction and the technical halt at Simhachalam North. This is due to Visakhapatnam's status as a divisional headquarters in the East Coast Railway and its recognition as a prominent city in India.

You will endorse the proposal for this particular stoppage?

Useful Great:Nice captures...👍👍
I boarded Visakhapatnam Bhubaneswar Vande Bharat with Platform ticket. Went to drop by brother travelling to Vijayanagaram. Distance 60km Fare Rs 435 ( catering charge Rs 35) way expensive. When you give halts every 60km and want people to board the train the min fare km and fares should also be kept low. I think min fare km in ACC is 125km. They should change fare structure of ACC class from 50km upto 200km to be competitive with road sector for Normal trains and VB. AC buses charge Rs 2-3 perkm depending on route and bus type. For 200km VB fare is 600 without catering fare which is equivalent to premium AC bus fare.
