The much-awaited Uday Express, between Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada, is likely to begin passenger services by month-end from the city.
As per the information conveyed by the Railway Ministry to the Waltair Division, the double-decker train will be reportedly flagged off by Union Minister of State for Railways, Suresh Angadi, at 11:30 am on 26 September.
It may be noted that while the Uday Express, between Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada, was slated to be flagged off on 26 August, the event was postponed due to the demise
of former Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.Travelling 350 km between Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada, Uday Express will be taking halts at Duvvada, Anakapalle, Tuni, Samarlakota, Rajamahendravaram, and Eluru.
