5 things which only a traveller of Godavari Express would relate to

The Vizag-Hyderabad rail route remains to be one of the busiest ones in the region. There’s a constant demand for different modes connecting these two cities. However, despite the surge in the number of trains and flights, Godavari Express continues to reign supreme.

The popular train, which recently completed 45 years, is a favourite for many. Here are 5 things many loyal travellers of Godavari Express would relate to.

#1 The default question

Travelling to Hyderabad or visiting Vizag anytime soon? Then somehow, the only miraculous option to commute between the cities appears to be Godavari Express. “Are you travelling by Godavari?” is the most cliched question you’d get to hear each time you travel between these two cities.

#2 The first choice

If left our imagination, the future might well see a hyperloop connecting Vizag and Hyderabad. Even then, we are pretty much confident that Godavari Express would still stand tall as the first choice for most of the passengers.

#3 The waiting list troubles

Given the high demand for the trains travelling between Vizag and Hyderabad, Godavari Express continues to remain as one of the busiest trains. Be it during Sankranti, Summer vacation or even for a distant cousin’s wedding in Wakanda, reserving a berth in this express train is difficult. Chalking out plans well ahead of your journey stands as the only glimmer.

#4 Known for punctuality

Godavari Express is known for its punctuality. Barring a few occasional delays, the express train is preferred by many passengers for its consistent adherence to the schedule. The train isn’t given the tag of “VVIP” for any other reason after all!

#5 Late night cravings at Vijayawada

All the nocturnal birds travelling by Godavari Express get their wings flapping when the train halts at Vijayawada. Typically scheduled to hit Vijayawada between 11 PM and 12 AM, the train gives you the best chance to satiate your late night cravings. From the hard-to-miss Bread Omelette to the evergreen Idly and Dosa, there’s plenty to choose from here.
