Hi Guys, I am not sure, when the next railway budget is (I believe it is going to be held in the month of February), but thought of what the state of Karnataka can really expect from this budget with K.H Muniyappa out of the railways ministry... I intend to write a list of trains, projects which I feel are necessary for our state and hopefully at least some of them would be fulfilled in the upcoming budget. The list of trains goes as follows:
Bangalore - Amritsar Superfast Express via Hubli, Pune
Bangalore - Varanasi Superfast Express via Gulbarga
Bangalore - Dehradun Superfast Express via Gulbarga
Bangalore - Jammu Superfast Express via Gulbarga
Bangalore - Kalka expressvia Gulbarga
Bangalore - Porbandar express via Hubli
Bangalore - Bhavnagar express via Hubli
Bangalore - Bikaner express via Hubli
Mangalore - Chennai express via Bangalore
Mangalore - Secunderabad express via Bangalore
Mangalore - Vishakapatnam express via Bangalore
Mysore - Secunderabad express via Bangalore
Mysore - Belgaum overnight express via Hassan
Bangalore - Belgaum overnight express via Haveri, Hubli
Mangalore - Vasco da Gama intercity express
Bidar - Chamarajanagar express via Bangalore and Mysore
Bangalore - Rameshwaram express
Bangalore - Mumbai Superfast express via Hubli, Madgaon and Panvel
Hubli - Mumbai express
Bangalore - Mangalore overnight express
Mangalore - Bijapur overnight express via Madgaon, Londa, Hubli and Gadag
Mysore - Bijapur express via Hassan
Bangalore - Udaipur express via Hubli
Mangalore - Ahmedabad express via Karwar, Madgaon and Panvel
Bangalore - Chikmagalur express
Talaguppa - Chikmagalur passenger
Belgaum - Chikmagalur express to be extended to Mysore after the completion of Chikmagalur - Sakleshpur railway line
Increase in frequency
Vasco - Yeshwantpur express from bi-weekly to daily
Yeshwantpur - Karwar express from tri-weekly to daily
Mysore - Mumbai Sharavati express from weekly to daily
Mysore - H. Nizamuddin Swarna Jayanti express from weekly to daily (as these 2 trains are beneficial to the people of North Karnataka as well)
Yeshwantpur - Solapur express via Gulbarga from tri-weekly to daily
(I stop here as I am unable to think of other trains. I urge people to add in their priorities)
Railway lines :
Bangalore - Hassan
Kadur - Chikmagalur line to be extended to either Sakleshpur or Hassan so that trains from Mysore to N. Karnataka can use the same
Tumkur - Chitradurga - Davangere
Mysore - Thalassery
Bidar - Gulbarga
Bangalore - Mysore doubling
Dharwad - Belgaum
Whitefield - Kolar
Chikballapur - Satya Sai Nilayam
Bangalore - Chamrajanagar - Mettupalyam / Satyamangala (Hope this receives the environmental clearances)
Hubli - Ankola (Hope this receives the environmental clearances)
Talaguppa - Honnavar (Hope this receives the environmental clearances)
Mysore - Madikeri - Mangalore
Hassan - Mangalore doubling (Hope this receives the environmental clearances)
I have written all that I could think of. Would look forward to your contribution.
