Description: A full journey from Howrah to Hyderabad with a quick break at Vijayawada, combining trips aboard the Coromondal Express and the Janmabhoomi Express. If Falaknuma does not suit you and East Coast is too unbearable, this actually is a pretty nice way to get to Hyderabad. Enjoy the parallel run with the Shalimar LTT Express, the Coromondal's breezy run along the Andhra coast, the Godavari river at Rajamundry, and then the Janmabhoomi's steady run through rocky Telengana (with a second crossing of the Krishna River) to Hyderabad. Notable crossings include the Yesvantpur Howrah Duronto Express, Bangalore Kamakhya Humsafar Express, Dhauli Express, Godavari Express, Secunderabad Visakhapatnam Garib Rath, Secunderabad Visakhapatnam Duronto Express, Secunderabad Visakhapatnam AC Express, Anga Express, Tirumala Express, Gautami Express, LTT Visakhapatnam Express, Dakshin Express, Chennai Howrah Mail, Simhadri Express, Janmabhoomi Express and Thirukkural Express. The icing on the cake was of course 6 crossings with twin Alco hauled trains (the entire purpose of the journey!) - Visakha, Bhavnagar Kakinada, Falaknuma and Narayandri Express (twin Kazipet), Sheshadri and Circars Express (twin Vijayawada WDP1), and the evening Visakha, with twin Maula Ali Alcos.
