Bangalore CRS SWR Tumkur Commuter rail Suburban Rail
In July 2011, Railway Board in a letter responding to Tumkur MP Shri. G. S. Basavaraj's request for CRS between Tumkur and Bengaluru, had indicated that they have asked South Western Railways, Hubli, to discuss this proposal with Government of Karnataka. Here is that letter.
This was followed up by one of Namma Railu Team member with both Railway Board and SWR Hubli by filling RTI applications. Though Railway Board did not respond to the RTI, SWR responded. SWR in the reply denies having received any such communication from the Railway Board. Did Railway Board lied to the Tumkur MP? It looks like it.
Here are the original RTI questions and the SWR reply.NOTE: Pay attention to the Question # 1 and SWR's answer.

Train # 06517 & 06518 was one of the successful train running with 90% occupancy rate & with no reason this has been cancelled. Its important to re introduce this & make it as a daily train. Concerned people please strive to get this on track at the earliest.

This is serious matter and we should request Tumkur MP to take up this matter with the PM and Railway Ministry.

He even filed PIL in Karnataka High court earlier too. He had followed very seriously with Earlier Chief Sec of GOK S V Ranaganath too.

I wonder if its required to terminate the 06517/18 YPr-MRJ at MRJ- of course its about 2 hrs faster than the Rani chennamma but I feel a connection of this train or extension of it upto Pune can also do a lot of benefit-
On SBC-Pune route it can take the present Swarna jayanti slot between ASK and Pune-leave by 9 Pm and reach by 4Pm-Return also it can take the same slot which s free for 6 days a week by leaving Pune around 9:30 and reaching YPr by 4:45 so timings will also be comfortable with early arrival late departure-but issue is it will be a complete day train from UBL to Pune and vice-versa
