Indian Railways — Please provide halt at Lingampally for trains coming from or travelling to Tirupati

Ranga Reddy, Andhra Pradesh, 500019

I am freelance journo, and have done a research and found that 30 to 40% of passengers who on-board train at secundrabad or get down at secundrabad travel back to lingampally railway station surrounding areas, especially for trains travelling to or coming from tirupati. This also alienates some of the people especially passengers near by lingampally areas to prefer other travelling options like bus etc.., hence to increase occupancy in trains please provide halt at lingampally and see the change. Not only that it saves travel time, unnecessary consumption of resources as travel back time from secundrabad station to lingampally surrounding areas is nearly 1 to 2 hrs depending on traffic. 5 mins halt will bring good change in railway revenue for biweekly/weekly trains travelling from or to tirupati.
