I am not talking against MEMU/DEMU/suburban system. I am saying that replacements should be done as per the requirement (passenger load).
See my reply /blog/post/2565977 to this member who blindly is bashing state govt. I am not supporting state govt. or any party, but criticism needs to be done on individual issue basis.

For parking these MEMUs or any rake, there...
more... is no place at SBC. State handed over land to SWR at Binny Mills, years ago, but no funds from center, so no pitlines or yard development. But the land, state got in exchange - Okalipuram flyover work is on.

How come no MEMU rakes are given by Center? Chennai and Mumbai get all sorts of new rakes/AC rakes but only Bengaluru, Hyderabad need to pay for them? Who is to be questioned for that. That too in installments they are getting rakes, though full payment is done.

Only rallies by techies are reported by papers since, they are the main readers. Media instead of being non-partisan has become a commercial product catering to just one section of its readers. Same media never reports the rallies held at Kolar/Srinivasapura/Chintamani demanding an early morning train to Bengaluru. All have to depend on that single DEMU. Now people have given up, taking buses. If media had highlighted their demand would have been met too.

SWR keeps saying they are asking funds for doubling of Hosur line, but no reply from Center.

Correct me if I am wrong, isn't the expansion of MEMU shed at BAND being done with state funds?
