Vizag-LTT express to be cancelled till May 30

East Coast Railway has announced the cancellation of 08519 Visakhapatnam-Lokamanya Tilak (LTT) special express from April 9 to May 30 in view of safety-related modernisation works being done in connection with ongoing doubling works in Bhalawani-Bhigwan single-line section in Solapur Division of Central Railway system.

In the return direction, 08520 Lokmanya Tilak Terminus-Visakhapatnam special express, leaving LTT (Mumbai) from April 11 to June 1, will be cancelled.
