ghost train..praja campaign?

srinidhi - 11 July, 2015 - 01:34

hope this doesnt end up like the ghost train that runs empty at odd hours to devanahalli..so called connecting BIAL..

Ramanagara line is more active..but again awareness needs to be created for this..how about a praja campaign to get to localities to spread the news..we can get leaflets printed and distributed..

Train to clear Chamundi Express rush

Sanjeev - 9 July, 2015 - 09:03

Regular commuters of Chamundi Express, a daily train between Bengaluru and Mysuru, can heave a sigh of relief. To clear the extra rush, South Western Railway will run a diesel electrical multiple unit (DEMU) special train from Bangalore City station to Ramanagaram from Wednesday.

At present, there are no trains on the route between 3.30pm and 6.15pm.“It is a welcome move.Travelling on Chamundi Express during rush hour is a harrowing experience.,“ said T Archana, a techie in Bengaluru.

“The train was announced in the last budget.Most office-goers prefer it because it starts from Bengaluru just after office hours. With the new train, the rush in Chamundi Express is expected to reduce,“ said Anup Dayanand Sadhu, senior divisional commercial manager, South Western Railway, Bengaluru division.The special train will run for six days in a week except on Sundays.

Train No. 06540 will leave Bangalore City at 4.30pm and reach Ramanagaram at 5.40pm. The train will stop at Krishnadevaraya, Nayandanahalli, Jnanabharathi, Kengeri, Hejjala, Bidadi, and Ketohalli stations. Train No. 06539 will leave Ramanagaram at 6.35pm and reach Bangalore at 7.50pm.

Give what ever name,  finally its Suburban Rail for Bangalore.  let GOK keep preapring reports  and pretends that its interested in suburban rail.

 

 

 

Timings could have been optimal

vatsan007 - 9 July, 2015 - 11:55

Does the timing of 4:30pm suite daily office passengers? It would have been better had the introduced this train by 5:30pm to really give relief to Chamundi express passengers. Also, one train in the morning between 7:00am and 9:00am would have been perfect. Today's newspaper report says that railway authorities would look at the usage to increase the frequency and life span of this train. I hope that the timing is beneficial and more people use it.
