SCR Finalizes Festive-Season Crowd Plan for Secunderabad Station

One-way overbridge access with designated holding zones will steer passengers away from Platform 1 bottlenecks.

Overview

  • Measures roll out from the last week of September for the Dasara–DiwaliChhath travel surge that lifts daily footfall above two lakh.
  • Designated holding zones will stage 1,500 passengers on Platform 1 and 1,125 on Platform 10 to decongest platforms and FOBs.
  • Key foot overbridge landings will operate one-way during 4–9 a.m. and 8–11 p.m., when flows top 10,000 passengers an hour.
  • Selected trains will run via the Sanathnagar–AmmugudaMaula AliCherlapalli section with extra halts at satellite stations such as Cherlapalli.
  • A 200-car basement parking on the Platform 10 side is now open, the 12-minute toll has been scrapped, a new Metro link from Platform 1 is under way, and a 24x7 control room with police and RTC coordination plus RailOne app guidance will support operations.
