The Hindu carried a news item on newly renovated UN-RESERVED ticket counters at the city railway station. Along with that it also carried a news about SWR plan to improve the station facilities.
http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Bangalore/article843393.ece
"...Future plans include improving facilities at the second entry to the station and widening of the exit road, along with relocation of two-wheeler parking facility. The cloakroom at the station, where the facilities have been enhanced, was also inspected.
Earlier in the day, Mr. Chaturvedi inaugurated a modern Crew Booking Centre at the Satellite Goods Terminal, Whitefield. This centre has been provided with computerised arrangement for management of train drivers and guards. A Comprehensive Rail Consumer Depot for fuelling of locomotives, which replaced the earlier unsafe temporary arrangement, was also inaugurated at this terminal. ..."
It would be nice if we could to tlak to Bengalury DGM Mr. Sudhanshu Mani to know the details and look for ourselves if the planned improvements mean anything. I am sure they do. Also would be an ideal opportunity to build bridges with SWR in run up to the Namma Railu plans.
IDS, Sanjeev, interested?

Sanjeev,
Thanks for the information.
A meeting with SWR DM would help understand the scope of all the works that are being planned. As done for BMTC, KSRTC, Praja discussions can be oriented for capturing the suggestions and feedack from citizens.

every small metro station hosts escalator these days. so only station in full city needs few of them
1. to go to 1st floor ticket booking
2. in subway coming from majestic side, where subway opens to railway station.
3. Escalator to skywalk across railway platforms
4. only upward escalator enough, downward people can use normal staircase. people afraid of escalators can use same staircase to go upwards too.
Any recent visitors to city railway station?
