It is very good for Hubbali. SWR has done past approach. The same way Hosur Bangalore doubling should be completed so that mobisle train can operate like other cities.
This will be help ful to IT corridor on day today basis.
Keep the good work going, congratulations
A dream come true. Thank you honourable Prime Minister.

Thank you all.
Hanumesh Padasalgi.
Good. We are happy.
Please start fast trains and hope trains reach destination on time (without delay)
GOOD JOB SWR. BUT PLEASE START ELECTRIC ENGINES, REPLACING DIESE ENGINES AT THE EARLIEST FOR ALL TRAINS RUNNING FROM BANGALORE TO HUBBALI WHICH SAVES TIME AND ENERGY. SOLAR PANELLING ON THE ROOF TOP OF STATIONS CAN BE THOUGHT OF TO STORE ELECTRIC ENERGY AND UTILISE THE SAME TO RUN ELECTRIC ENGINES.
Yes, Man. Those smoke monsters should be from the Indian rail. They produce pollution and eat up foreign reserves’ cost of oil.
Well done , its good for North Karnataka.
It’s June 23 today…. Still work not complete…
Its a Good News. But change all train engines from Bangalore to Hubli to electric Engines [Locomotives] instead of Diesel engines. And try to reduce the travel time for all the trains.
But why is that we still don’t have electric locos hauling the trains on the SBC – UBL line .. except for Janshatabdi, VB and couple of long distance weeklies.. ? Is UBL shed running short of WAG-9HC locos.. ? Are they using the 35 WAG-9HC locos.. ? Pls share an update on this if you have.. Thanks.
