Vijayawada-Dharmavaram express [17215/17216] connects Rayalaseema with Amravati, the new capital of Andhra pradesh. The train was commenced on 12th July 2016 by the Railway minister Suresh Prabhu.It has too much slck in it's timetable, you can see both Prashanti express and Kondaveedu express overtake it in the same station. But even after that shame, the train reached it's destination Vijayawada on time. It is the only train running with LHB rake in this route and the only train dedicated for Anantapur passengers going towards Vijayawada.
