India’s first AC railway station: where did they go wrong?

Sir M Visvesvaraya Terminal (SMVT) is India's first centrally air conditioned railway station, designed to look like an airport.

South Western Railways

(SWR) spent 6 years and over 300 crores to build SMVT, so its disappointing to see how many issues there are with its design. At a first glance, the building looks like an airport, but as you get closer and start using the space you realize that it does a poor job of all the basics.

It’s difficult to reach, uncomfortable to wait at, and its confusing to navigate. Lots of space and material have been used but instead of creating value they feel incomplete and wasteful.

This video is an exploration of the 'Overengineering & underdesigning' trend that seems to dominate the urban construction industry right now. We argue that tools and policies have led to a construction style that builds spaces for vehicles, often at the cost of building for people. Buildings in this style tend to inconvenience people.

Clear example of how not to design.
YPR Hosur line on the outer periphery (Benniganahalli overhead line) could have been connected with a C or U link to SMVT, so that Hosur line gets connected to Yelahanka and KJM line (without loco reversal).
If this was made, trains could have moved from Hosur to Chennai or Salem to Hyderabad via SMVT DMM route.

is not clear how railways will take BSRP line from Heelalige (Hosur line) to Rajanukunte (Yelahanka line).

GTL division is very big. Can be divided into two.
DMM to KLBG plus KLBG to Khanapur (478 kms) along with Raichur Gadwalb(57 kms), Krishna Devarakadra (66 kms) and Wadi to Vikarabad (113 kms) can be in GTL Division and be with SCR.
New Tirupati division can be carved from current GTL division - Katpadi to DMM, Pakala to Gudur, RU to GTL and other areas.
...

If KLBG division is formed in SCR, then area north of Guntakal can be with KLBG.
Anyway, no SCOR for Karnataka (Raichur/ Yadgir/ Chittapur etc)

Re# 6047021-9              
Waste of time, effort and resources. What could be the metro fare for 70 kms journey? Is it economical for daily travellers? Just making a statement to confuse public.

SWR is not able to show any progress in Karnataka specifically in and around Bangalore. Always they come out with excuses. Now they will tell that metro is coming to Tumkur and so we will not run local trains between Bangalore and Tumkur.

If really interested in developing Tumkur, SWR should put all their energy in completing Tumkur Davanagere line and Tumkur Rayadurga line. Also link YNK DMM line with SBC TK line.

I am 100% sure this route was designed by an expert from SWR zone.
In SWR, we have many C U Z N and ? shaped routes. Check Basava, Gol Gumbaz, YPR MAQ weekly, KSK Via UBL GTL, Vishwamanava, MYS SNSI etc.

Another time buying tactics by railways. If local train link is established, then Ola Uber and BMTC Vayu Vajra AC buses will be in trouble. These agencies will ensure that railway line is always in progress without completion.
If Doddajala station is to be developed, why it was not done during doubling and electrification of Devanahalli line? Why sudden Gyan?
What is preventing BMTC and railways to join hands in running dedicated 3 or 4 coach trains between city (SBC/ BNC/ KJM/ WFD/ HSRA) and YNK or Doddajala stations?
...

BMTC can run shuttle from YNK and Doddajala.
ಬರೀ ರೈಲು. ಒಂದೆರ ನಂತರ ಒಂದು. ಮೂರು ಕಾಸಿನ ಕೆಲಸ ನಡೆಯುತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ. KIA Airport ಶುರುವಾಗಿ 15 ವರ್ಷ ಆಯಿತು. ಆದರೂ ರೈಲು ಸಂಚಾರ ಸಂಪರ್ಕ ಕಲ್ಪಿಸಿಲ್ಲ. 🤔
