Very few opt for overnight journey. This will be the last option in this route. Some pax may prefer this train as very few trains are running in this route.

Bus will cost 1100 from TPTY to VSKP for Non-AC with pushback. This DD might be relatively free at night to stretch your legs. With 900 Rs, we will get AC as well. If we think in this way, people will book. Journey time also 16 to 17 hrs for bus.

This is the continuation of the journey video to attend my friend's wedding, in Nellore. In the first part I covered the overnight journey from Bengaluru to Chennai, including my feelings about stepping into a train after 20months. The journey was on board the 12692 SSPN - Chennai Central weekly Express, which was running as 06074 Special then.

This vlog shows the second part of the journey from Chennai to Nellore on board the 12077 Vijayawada Janshatabdi Express, I traveled along with my friend, Avinash Patil, and our friend Rahul, came...

to see us off. This vlog also covers some of the early morning actions I could observe in Chennai Central and a very special 2km long parallel action with the KSR Bengaluru bound Double Decker, which departs at the same time as the Janshatabdi.
