Double boost on Devanahalli-Bangarpet rail line

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. SWR ne December 11, 2023 se Devanahalli se Chikkaballapur tak 6 train services start kar di hain. Iske alawa, Bengaluru Cantonment- Baiyappanahalli (13.20 km) aur Baiyappanahalli se Whitefield (24.69 km) ke beech quadrupling ka kaam chal raha hai, aur yeh December 2024 tak complete hone ki ummed hai.
