The Long Trains & MMTS Travellers Association has urged South Central Railway (SCR) to upgrade the Neredmet MMTS station into a mainline station capable of accommodating express train halts. The association argues that Neredmet’s location on a bypass line currently used by trains diverting from Secunderabad makes it a suitable spot for express train stops. They propose extending the existing platforms to accommodate 24-coach trains, which would benefit a large population and address the demand for direct train access to key destinations in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.

**Neredmet Residents Push for Express Train Halts at MMTS Station**

*HYDERABAD, August 6, 2025* – The Long Trains & MMTS Travellers Association is lobbying South Central Railway (SCR) to transform the Neredmet MMTS station into a mainline station, allowing for express train stops. The association believes this upgrade would significantly benefit the densely populated Neredmet area and improve connectivity to major cities in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.

“Many trains are now being diverted via Sanathnagar, bypassing Secunderabad station,” explained Noor Ahmed Ali, President of the association, in a press release. “This bypass line goes directly through Neredmet, making it a strategically ideal location to develop a halt for express trains.”

The association proposes extending the two existing platforms by approximately 250 meters to accommodate 24-coach express trains. This upgrade, they argue, would cater to the growing demand from local residents, students, and office-goers for direct train access to destinations like Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, Warangal, and Guntur.

“Neredmet is a densely populated area and making this a stop for long-distance trains would greatly improve accessibility for lakhs of people,” Ali added.

SCR has yet to comment on the proposal, but the association remains optimistic that the upgrade will be considered, citing the clear benefits to the local community.
