Starting December 11th, residents of Bengaluru can travel to Nandi Hills by electric train. The South Western Railway (SWR) is extending Memu trains from Devanahalli to Chikkaballapur, which will include stops at Nandi Halt. These trains are the 06531/06532 Bengaluru Cantonment-Chikballapur-Cantonment, 06535/06538 Chikkaballapur-Bengaluru Cantonment-Chikkaballapur, and 06593/06594 Yeswantpur-Chikkaballapur-Yeswantpur. While the electrification between...

Yelahanka and Chikkaballapur was completed in March 2022, the introduction of electric trains was delayed due to various reasons. Residents and rail enthusiasts have expressed concerns about the timing and lack of stoppages at intermediate stations. However, SWR plans to operate an early train to allow visitors to catch the sunrise at Nandi Hills once the Nandi Halt station restoration is complete in two months. SWR also plans to restore heritage stations and offer a one-day tour package on the historic Bengaluru-Devanahalli-Chikkaballapur rail route, which was the first railway network established by private enterprise in India.

11 December se, Bengaluru ke residents Nandi Hills jaa sakte hain electric train se. South Western Railway (SWR) Devanahalli se Chikkaballapur tak Memu trains extend kar raha hai, jisme Nandi Halt pe stop bhi hoga. Ye trains hain 06531/06532 Bengaluru Cantonment-Chikballapur-Cantonment, 06535/06538 Chikkaballapur-Bengaluru Cantonment-Chikkaballapur, aur 06593/06594 Yeswantpur-Chikkaballapur-Yeswantpur.

Residents aur rail enthusiasts ko timing aur intermediate stations pe stop na hone se pareshani hai. Lekin, SWR Nandi Halt station restore hone ke baad, do mahine mein, visitors ko Nandi Hills pe sunrise dekhne ke liye early train operate karega.

Re# 5902530-1              
Railways are bringing up BNC as starting point for these odd trains. Frequency should be hourly round the clock.
But how people from west/ south Bangalore will reach BNC? No direct buses from Kengeri/ Vijaynagara/ Rajajinagar/ Magadi road/ Jayanagar/ JP Nagar/ Kanakapura road/ Banneerghatta road/ Koramangala/ Sarjapur road etc. Dedicated BMTC bus services can help. Else this effort will be a flop.

Few of these should come from Kengeri, Mandya and even Mysuru, Tumakuru, Hassan, Kolar to KIAD Airport. It will help commuters.

Re# 5902530-3              
Both railways and road transport authorities (KSRTC, BMTC) should work out proper plans for airport travellers.
To travel to Mysore, you have Flybus. What about Tumkur or Hassan or Hosur? Or even Chikkaballapur, Doddaballapura? Not even a single bus run by KSRTC or BMTC. Why can't few Sarige buses to Tumkur/ Hassan/ Mandya/ Kanakapura/ Hosur? or Rajahamsa buses to Hassan/ Shivamogga/ Chikmagalur/ Anantapur? AC bus to Tirupati will be a big hit. One has to go via Majestic adding to the big Majestic mess, just for changing a bus.
Why...
more...
not ordinary BMTC or KSRTC to Chikkaballapura or Doddaballapura?
Similarly, there should be atleast one train from Hassan, Tumkur, Hosur, Salem, and Shivamogga, Anantapur, Kolar, Bamgarapet etc, apart from few dedicated local services from SBC WFD KJM KGI YPR.

Re# 5739586-1              
As Railways as well as BMTC are not interested in connecting city with airport, we have reached this condition.
More travellers to airport means more Ola Uber and so more toll charges. More passengers means more income for white elephant BMTC Vayu Vajra buses.
But more traffic on the road means more mega jams on the roads. But who cares 🤔???
...

More income to Ola Uber BMTC and other taxi services. People are expected to pay 1500 or more for travel from/ to airport, whereas air fare for many destination are around 2500 to 3000. 🤔

SWR will run airport trains according to their convenience, from whichever station they feel like. With zero punctuality. Still expecting patronage of such a useless arrangement is too much.

Learn from Chennai how to seamlessly connect airport, railway stations and bus stand.

One can travel without any hassle between Koyambedu bus stand, Central station and Egmore station to airport in metro.

On my visit to Chennai I noticed both railway station and Metro station in close vicinity of Airport. Bangalore which is notoriously famous for traffic and its airport which is in different place. A popular meme that runs is u can reach faster in flight to any other city from airport than reach main city from Bangalore airport

Chennai Airport has metro station directly connected to airport terminals with walkalator etc. Opposite is Tirusulam local railway station. In front of airport one corner you have 2 city bus stops. Other side of the road you have TNSTC buses originating from airport to Trichy, Villupuram etc.
What do we have in Bangalore airport? AC buses to city. Hourly AC buses to Mysore. That's all. Why not normal regular Non AC Karnataka Sarige buses to any other part of Karnataka/ neighbouring AP TN (Hosur, Salem, Anantapur, Tirupati, Chikkaballapura, Doddaballapura, Tumkur, Hassan, Chitradurga, Davanagere etc).

SWR should re-route few of these MEMU trains towards KIAD-YNK-YPR also.
This will benefit passengers travelling to the airport from West or north west Bangalore
