It is not Circles Express ,it is CIRCAR Express running between COA(Kakinada Port) and Madras Beach via TEL-GNT-BZA-GDV-BVRT.
Now this train runs between COA-MS(Chennai Egmore) in the same route via TEL-NGNT-BZA-GDV_BVRT.
Till 1977 CIRCAR Express was the only train running in GNT--GDR section.
Initially this train pass through...
more... GNT-TEL section.
. Later only to provide a short route for CIRCAR Express, this chord line between VEJANDLA..TSUNDUR was constructed bypassing TEL junction.
During 1976 due to political pressure from then MP of TENALI,this CIRCAR Express was rerouted to run via previous route. Because of this, this chord line between VEJANDLA and TSundur was used to run only Goods trains now and then. Later on because of no traffic this chord line was abondened due to maintenance constraints.
But now the total scenario changed . Now lot of traffic in GNT- GDR section section and increasing in Geometric Progression.
Hence the restoration of this small link(10km) between VEJANDLA- TSUNDUR is very .ugh need of the day
