Good News! Bengaluru's First Electric Train To Nandi Hills Starts Today

These trains do not stop at stations like Bettahalsoor, Doddajala, and Channasandra. Rajkumar Dugar, a rail activist, mentioned that these trains should stop at intermediate stations, including Bettahalsoor. But SWR is not providing stoppages at these stations because no agents are ready to take up the job of manning the halt stations at just Rs 1,500 a month.

Kusuma Hariprasad, Additional Divisional Manager (Bengaluru division), told Moneycontrol "SWR, along with the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH), has already restored three heritage stations on this route: Doddajala, Devanahalli, and Avatihalli, and the Nandi halt restoration work will be completed in two months. Once it is completed, we will operate an early train so visitors can catch the sunrise at Nandi Hills."
