aur Bangarpet ke beech ka 149 km ka stretch, Kolar se hota hua, pura electrified hai, par abhi sirf diesel train chal rahi hai. Electric train Bengaluru se Chikkaballapura tak chalti hai, par uske aage nahi. Railway source ne train ki kami aur staffing issues ko delay ka reason bataaya hai, aur kaha hai ki Kolar mein train aur equipment manage karne ke liye zyada staff ki zarurat hai. SWR ne ek RTI response mein MEMU train ki kami aur Kolar mein terminal ki problem ki confirm kiya hai. Commuters, jinme IT professionals aur students bhi shamil hain, is delay se khush nahi hain, kyunki existing diesel train bahut crowded hain aur journey 3 hours se zyada time leti hai, jisse log bahut thak jaate hain. Ek 16 coaches wali MEMU train 1,000 se zyada passengers ko baitha sakti hai, jo existing DEMU train se zyada efficient aur fast option hai.
