Railway Budget Disappointing for Karnataka

26 February 2010 - 8:26pm — Sanjeev

Rail Budget 2010-11 from the outset looks good for Karnataka, its good job done by Mamtha & K H Muniyappa as Window Dressing for Karnataka. PPP model is no finalised & will require Cabinet approval, so nothing will come in next 1-2 years on this.

Commuter / suburban rail - part II

Branching off from "Commuter-rail-will-it-ever-materialize" thread as it got too long. The IDD seems to be moving in the direction of surveying for CRS (item 3, pp. 2).

Deregulated State Railway Authority

23 February 2010 - 9:43pm — idontspam

KRC is the model to go if we need to resolve the local problems. If Delhi continue plan and execute we will definitely continue to have hundreds of KR Puram/Whitefield like engineering disasters called flyovers.

New line - Tumkur to Hindupur

21 February 2010 - 6:13pm — K.S.Ramanujam

I want to suggest a Railway link between Tumkur with Hindupur, both falling in the south westren Rail zone. This will help everyone in west & southwest regions to reach Puttaparthy which is a place to go for many people.
