Platform management at Visakhapatnam is very poor. Trains are not cleared from the platform for long time due to the carelessness as well as the time taken to change the engine direction, thus forcing many trains to wait at the outer signal to enter the station. It should be made a terminus and more reserve engines be placed to remove the trains. This will also reduce the problem of elders, physically disabled and sick persons of crossing the foot over bridges to reach the platforms.
