11. Escaltors are getting ready for opening at City station
 

In any way,  SWR has to start the suburban rail services even if Railway Minister likes it or not for their own efficency increasing. 

Railway Minister should realize by now that if he does not approve,  next Railway minister will do this job with cake walk.   It will be foolishnes from his side if he is not approving and showing his gesture to the state capital.

In other way,  he can position himslef for the CM of Karnataka if he does some of these good gesture for the Capital

When Pune - Lonavala, Kanpur - Lucknow can have suburban rail with EMU rakes running by Indian Railway without any support or demand from the State Govts. 

Here is the case where GOK has taken steps to see that Suburban Rail gets implemented  with Indian Railway and even with Cost shaing basi ( 50 % )

How does MMTS and Chennai Suburban Rail are running,  do they have any seperate Tracks,  the way Railway Minister talking ??/

Now he is talking of Circular Railway  when its no where discussed at any place ???
