Yup, now all KJM needs is halt of Mysuru Vande Bharat and it'll be sorted for both Morning and Evening Timings.
This will truly be a game changer for Bengaluru.
Since Premium Trains are now stopping at Mandya now, perhaps time to give Mysuru Shatabdi halt there. Since fare is controlled for Bengaluru Mysuru Sector in that train, it'll truly be beneficial for Mandya. Both Morning and afternoon options would be available.
Karnataka...
more... is truly getting much desired connectivity.
Kalaburagi and Dharwad (could be for Belagavi).
Now all that's required is mostly a Vande Bharat Express having morning departure for Gadag/Vijayapura (wherever possible) from Bengaluru via Ballari, Hospet and a connection to Mangaluru post Electrification.
If possible SWR should explore extension of Chennai Mysuru Shatabdi till Chamrajnagar with stoppage at Nanjangud (controlled Fare for Bengaluru Chamrajnagar Section), it would be an excellent option for devotees from Chennai, Bengaluru and Mysuru. Arrival timings can be delayed till 11:30 PM at Chennai since there's already Vande Bharat option available for evening arrival at Chennai. Awaiting your views.
