Another time buying tactics by railways. If local train link is established, then Ola Uber and BMTC Vayu Vajra AC buses will be in trouble. These agencies will ensure that railway line is always in progress without completion.
If Doddajala station is to be developed, why it was not done during doubling and electrification of Devanahalli line? Why sudden Gyan?
What is preventing BMTC and railways to join hands in running dedicated 3 or 4 coach trains between city (SBC/ BNC/ KJM/ WFD/ HSRA) and YNK or Doddajala stations?...

BMTC can run shuttle from YNK and Doddajala.
ಬರೀ ರೈಲು. ಒಂದೆರ ನಂತರ ಒಂದು. ಮೂರು ಕಾಸಿನ ಕೆಲಸ ನಡೆಯುತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ. KIA Airport ಶುರುವಾಗಿ 15 ವರ್ಷ ಆಯಿತು. ಆದರೂ ರೈಲು ಸಂಚಾರ ಸಂಪರ್ಕ ಕಲ್ಪಿಸಿಲ್ಲ. 🤔

The South Western Railway (SWR) has provided 115 acres of land to the Bengaluru Suburban Railway Project (BSRP) for its 46.88-km line connecting Heelalige and Rajanukunte. This land handover was part of a long-term lease agreement signed on April 2. The SWR initially allocated 157.07 acres for Corridor 2 but later...

reduced it to 85.707 acres. The BSRP has awarded a contract to L&T Limited for the design and construction of viaducts for Corridor 4. The project faced delays due to alignment approval and land acquisition issues but has now commenced after these hurdles were cleared. The SWR has approved the revised alignment plan for Corridor 4, and K-RIDE is working on utility shifts, private land acquisition, and other physical hurdles for the corridor. Corridor 4 is expected to be completed by December 2026, with 19 stations. Meanwhile, K-RIDE has submitted a revised alignment for Corridor 1 (KSR Bengaluru-Devanahalli/Airport) to the SWR. The Minister for Infrastructure Development, MB Patil, has set a December 2027 deadline for Corridor 1, with the first phase focusing on the Yelahanka-Devanahalli section to be completed by December 2026, and the second phase covering the KSR Bengaluru-Yelahanka section to be ready by December 2027. The Rs 15,767-crore project, initiated in June 2022, has faced delays and challenges, including coordination issues between K-RIDE and the railways. Civil work contracts have been awarded for only two of the four corridors. The SWR has indicated their willingness to take over the project if necessary.

Corridor 2 ke liye 157.07 acres zameen allocate ki thi, but baad mein usko kam karke 85.707 acres kar diya. BSRP ne Corridor 4 ke liye viaducts ke design and construction ke liye L&T Limited ko contract diya hai. Project me alignment approval aur zameen acquisition se related issues ki wajah se delay aaya tha, lekin ab yeh issues clear ho gaye hain aur project start ho gaya hai. SWR ne Corridor 4 ke liye revised alignment plan ko approve kiya hai, aur K-RIDE utility shifts, private zameen acquisition, aur corridor ke liye doosre physical hurdles par kaam kar raha hai. Corridor 4 December 2026 tak complete hone ki ummeed hai, jisme 19 stations honge. Iske saath hi, K-RIDE ne Corridor 1 (KSR Bengaluru-Devanahalli/Airport) ke liye SWR ko revised alignment submit kiya hai. Infrastructure Development ke minister, MB Patil, ne Corridor 1 ke liye December 2027 ki deadline di hai, jiska pehla phase Yelahanka-Devanahalli section par focus karega, jiska December 2026 tak complete hone ka lakshya hai, aur doosra phase KSR Bengaluru-Yelahanka section ko cover karega, jiska December 2027 tak ready hone ka lakshya hai. Rs 15,767 crore ka yeh project, June 2022 me shuru hua tha, lekin isme delay aur challenges aaye hain, jisme K-RIDE aur railways ke beech coordination issue bhi shamil hain. Chaar corridors mein se sirf do corridors ke liye civil work contract award kiye gaye hain. SWR ne yeh bataya hai ki agar zarurat padi toh woh project ko apne hath mein le sakte hain.

Commuters between Kolar and Bengaluru are demanding electric trains, but the Bengaluru Railway Division has sent a train to Ayodhya and hasn't returned it yet. The South Western Railway Zone cites a shortage of trains and terminal constraints at Kolar as the reason. While the 149 km stretch between Yelahanka and...
more...
Bangarpet via Kolar is fully electrified, only diesel trains are currently operating. Electric trains run from Bengaluru to Chikkaballapura, but not beyond. A railway source attributed the delay to a lack of MEMU trains and staffing issues, stating that they require more staff at Kolar to manage the trains and equipment. An RTI response from SWR confirmed the shortage of MEMU rakes and terminal constraints in Kolar. Commuters, including IT professionals and students, are unhappy with the delay as the existing diesel trains are overcrowded and the journey takes over 3 hours, leading to exhaustion. An MEMU train with 16 coaches can accommodate over 1,000 passengers, providing a more efficient and faster alternative to the current DEMU trains.

Kolar aur Bengaluru ke beech ke commuters electric train ka demand kar rahe hain, par Bengaluru Railway Division ne ek train Ayodhya bhej di hai aur abhi tak vapas nahi aaya hai. South Western Railway Zone ne Kolar mein train ki kami aur terminal ki problem ko reason bataaya hai. Yelahanka...

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.

South Western Railways (SWR) is planning to double the track between Devanahalli and Bangarpet via Kolar, which will be a 125-km stretch. This doubling will allow for increased train frequency and is expected to improve the overall connectivity. The project is estimated to cost Rs 2.5 crore. Rail activists welcome the...

doubling work but argue that it won't solve the issue of low patronage for the Airport MEMU. They emphasize the need for connecting the suburban route to the airport line and increasing the number of intermediate station stoppages. SWR has also started running six train services from Devanahalli to Chikkaballapur since December 11, 2023. Additionally, quadrupling work is ongoing between Bengaluru Cantonment- Baiyappanahalli (13.20 km) and Baiyappanahalli to Whitefield (24.69 km), and is expected to be completed by December 2024.

kehna hai ki isse Airport MEMU ki kam patronage ki problem solve nahin hogi. Unhone airport line se suburban route ko connect karne aur intermediate stations pe stoppages badhane ki jarurat par zor diya hai.
