The railways on Sunday added another train on the Whitefield-Banaswadi route, in a move that will benefit people travelling to the eastern ends of the city in the evening.
The train (06578) will leave Banaswadi at 6.25 pm and reach Whitefield at 7.20 pm. In the return direction, the train (06577) will leave Whitefield at 7.50 am and reach Banaswadi at 8.30 am.
Bangalore Central MP, P C Mohan, who flagged off the train, said he was aware of the demand from a section of software engineers to extend the train to Yeshwantpur. “There are many people tweeting and demanding the train’s extension to Yeshwantpur. There are some technical problems. The extension will happen once these problems are rectified,” he added.
