The Pagidipalli–Nallapadu section[1] is an electrified single track railway section in Guntur railway division of South Central Railway.[2][3]

History[edit]

The Guntur–Macherla section was opened in 1930. A new railway line from Bibinagar to Nadikudi was started in 1974 and foundation stone was laid by then Prime minister of India Indira Gandhi on 7 April 1974 and opened for traffic in 1989 there by making connectivity between Guntur Junction and Secunderabad Junction.[4]

Route[edit]

This route starts from Pagidipalli (near Bibinagar) and passes through Nalgonda, Miryalaguda, Nadikudi, Piduguralla, Sattenapalle and joins Nallapadu near Guntur.[2]
