South Western Railway (SWR) has announced the cancellation of over 100 trains from Bengaluru to Andhra Pradesh and other regions due to severe flooding caused by heavy rains. The disruption affects multiple routes and services, including trains from major cities like Mysore and Bengaluru.

Heavy rains in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana have led to the cancellation of more than 110 trains. Services from Bengaluru and Mysore are particularly affected.

The flooding, especially around Vijayawada, has caused significant disruptions. Many trains are either cancelled or rerouted due to waterlogging and safety concerns.

Trains from Visvesvaraya Terminal Railway Station to Danapur and the Bengaluru KSR to Danapur routes have been cancelled due to standing water at Rayanapadu station.

Notable cancellations include Train No. 22817 from Howrah to Mysore, Train No. 22818 from Mysore to Howrah, and Train No. 17209 from Bengaluru to Kakinada Nagar.

Several trains have been rerouted to avoid flood-affected areas. This includes trains from Visvesvaraya Terminal to Patna Junction via Secunderabad and from Yeshwantpur to Tughlakabad via Guntakala-Wadi.

Train services such as those from Yeshwantpur to Tatanagar and Visvesvaraya Terminal to Patna Junction will now travel through alternate routes due to severe weather conditions.

Train services from Hatia to Visvesvaraya Terminal and vice versa have been suspended. Trains from Bhubaneswar to Bangalore and other routes are also affected.

SWR has announced the cancellations and rerouting of trains. Passengers are advised to check updated schedules and plan their journeys accordingly.
