We earlier had them running in Brindavan Express in the late 80's and also in the Mumbai-Pune sector later removed because of inconvinience. Now it has been planned to re-introduce them.

We can have a train from Whitefield,Devanhalli and Nelamangla to Mysore once the doubling gets over. Till then it can be better utilized on devanhalli route.
