Hi! I am proposing to reach Tirupaty directly from Bhubaneswar via Vijayawada. I can reach on Saturday Morning by 5 AM. What are our final plans? I dont want anyone of us to lose money in avoidable cancellations. We can use such money for a common cause. I have not yet planned my return trip. If there is vacancy in the bus, I can consider coming to Hyderabad in that. Otherwise, I can go back by train to Vijayawada and come to Hyderabad. Please let me know asap.
