Ministry of Railways announcing June 1, 2026 as formation of South Coast Railway zone. Headquartered in Visakhapatnam, it re-organizes divisions from East Coast and South Central Railways, including a new Rayagada division.

🚉 With ongoing double-line works, upgrade stations:
✅ Dupadu – 3 Platforms

In Ulavapadu Village, some guys are thrown a can on the running Loco with Grand Trunk Express coming from Vijayawada towards Chennai Side. The Loco pilots are Severely injured. I hope for the speedy recovery.
Today @SCoRAILWAYVSKP General Manager Sandeep Mathur garu with officials has inspected the Visakhapatnam - Ichchapuram Section. He inspected at Simhachalam, Srikakulam Road, Palasa and Ichchapuram Stations ABSS Works and directed the officials to complete the works in time.
Pendurthi has a minimum Infrastructure with 7 Platforms. So I hope @RailMinIndia and @SCoRAILWAYVSKP should consider Redevelopment of Pendurthi Station.
Pendurthi is one of the fastest-growing areas in Visakhapatnam. Request @SCoRAILWAYVSKP to upgrade Pendurthi Railway Station and provide stoppages for more express trains to improve connectivity and convenience for thousands of passengers. #Pendurthi#Visakhapatnamv
The Forum is decided to support the newly RRB for SCOR zone. The Main Zonal RRB should be in Visakhapatnam and the another 2 Satellite RRB s should be in Vijayawada/Guntur and in Tirupati. I request @RailMinIndia to commence the RRB s for Andhra Pradesh.
Thank You

It should be ask pre 2014 in Manmohan Singh s era. The United Andhra Pradesh is disturbed due to YSR s death and instability Government. No Railway Line projects and no new Premium trains started from AP (pre TG formation).
@APRailForum Hi sir., why we always asking intercity. Why can't we asking shathabdi express insted of intercity. In North part of India every state have shathabdi express. But we don't have.
In my opinion following shathabdi expresses needed.
1. PSA/CHE -BZA
2.TPTY/NLR - BZA
3. KRNT - BZA
@anand_011235@APRailForum We are discussing on this and silently AMV will take RRB. It's going to be biggest junctions in India with 24 platforms and all trains will pass through it
But why West Central Railway zone RRB office is in Bhopal which HQ is Jabalpur. Why East Central Railway RRB is in Muzaffarpur and Patna when the Zonal HQ is in Hajipur. There is a chance to keep main zonal RRB in Vizag and Satellite RRB in Vijayawada/Guntur.
RRB అనే దానికి రాష్ట్ర సరిహద్దులతో/విస్తరణతో ఎలాంటి సంబంధం లేదు. అది కేంద్రానికి (రైల్వేలకు) సంబంధించిన అంశం. మధ్యలో పెట్టాలి, సమంగా పెట్టాలి లాంటి వాదనల కంటే, జోనల్ కేంద్రానికి చేరువలో పెడితే కార్యకలాపాలు మరింత సులువుగా, ఎఫిషియంట్గా ఉంటాయి.
SCoR Zone is not only belong to Uttarandhra. This is the asset of Andhra Pradesh and some parts of Telangana. RRB can be set up in Vijayawada. Mega Coaching Workshop in Tirupati.
Present Naupada Gunupur Line should doubled. Pathapatnam should be develop as main Station with 3 PF s. An another morning intercity needed from Gunupur to Vizag with fast TT and less stops. So i request @SCoRAILWAYVSKP should do good for Western Srikakulam District.
Thank you
