In a move that will benefit thousands of people who commute between Bengaluru and Tumakuru every day, South Western Railways (SWR) has decided to run MEMU train services between the two cities for the first time.
Starting from April 8, SWR will run one pair of train services from Krantiveera Sangolli Rayanna City railway station to Tumakuru. The train (06575/06576) will have 16 cars.
Daily commuters have welcomed the move and said that it will help provide a comfortable travel experience, reduce travel time, and help in bringing down carbon emissions.
