The launch of the Tirupati–Sainagar Shirdi Express delivers multiple far-reaching benefits by significantly strengthening rail connectivity across four states—Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka and Maharashtra.
The South Central Railway (SCR) has announced that it will operate 60 Pre-Sabarimala special trains connecting key destinations in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana with Kollam in Kerala to manage the anticipated surge of devotees traveling to Sabarimala.

The SCR stated that the Secunderabad-Hazrat Nizamuddin will be operated on October 28 and November 2, while the Hazrat Nizamuddin-Secunderabad will run on October 30 and November 4.
The South Central Railway will operate 52 additional special trains between various destinations to clear extra rush during Sankranti festival season.
